If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could switch on password protection for a certain folder - either the main Internet site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this feature is active, a pop-up will appear each time a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that nobody will be able to access the secured content. The function could be useful in a number of scenarios - if only certain individuals need to be able to see specific files, if you work on a site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, etc.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

When you use any of our web hosting solutions, you will be able to make password-protected areas with ease even if you don't have any experience with this kind of matters. We have built in an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts, so you will be able to protect any folder within a matter of seconds. You'll simply have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder which should be secured (the main one or a subfolder), and then to input the desired username and password that will be used to access the folder in question when you need it. Every secured folder will have a padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see at a glance what content is secured and what is not. When necessary, you can create a number of different sets of login details for exactly the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to shield any content that you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is a part of, so you will not have to input any code at any time. You will only need to select one of the domains/subdomains you have in the website hosting account and to select which folder should be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type the username and the password, that will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be good to go. The protection shall be turned on right away, so anyone that attempts to access the freshly protected folder will have to type in the correct login details. When several individuals have to be able to access exactly the same content, you could make a separate username for each of them.
