If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to activate password protection for a certain folder - either the primary site folder or a different one below it. In case this function is enabled, a pop-up will appear each and every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected only the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one shall be able access the secured content. The option could be useful in a number of cases - if only a few people must be able to see specific files, if you are building a website and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting
With the password protection tool supplied with each cloud hosting package which we provide, you will be able to secure any content that you have inside your account with only a few clicks. As the tool is a component of our revolutionary Hepsia CP, it offers the exact same simple interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. As soon as you go to the Password Protection section, you'll need to choose one of the domains or subdomains that you have inside the account and then decide if the protection should be active for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password that you would like and you shall be all set to go. A little padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you'll be able to include many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Protecting any folder with a password shall be really easy if you host your Internet sites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company. A user-friendly tool, which is built into the Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to pick the exact folder you'd like to protect with a couple of mouse clicks and all you'll need to type shall be the username and the password that will be used to access it subsequently. You will not encounter any complications even if you haven't had a website hosting account before, considering that you don't need any previous knowledge or programming skills to enable the feature. If you repeat the same basic steps, you will be able to set up many usernames for the same password-protected area, so a number of people shall be able to access a particular folder with their own login credentials. You will be able to see the secured folders easily either in the very same section of the Control Panel or within the File Manager section where you will identify them by their small padlock icons.
