A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are offered. This may be an entire Internet site or simply a single page which is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up where you have to input a username and a password. If you type in the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content with no need to do anything extra. If the login details aren't correct, however, you shall see a message that you aren't permitted to see the content. In case this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is very useful if you want to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

All our hosting include an incredibly convenient tool that will enable you to secure any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will just have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password which should be used to access the content in question. The function shall be active right away, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you will be prompted to type in the login credentials. You may set up or remove many usernames for the exact same folder, if needed. When you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be marked with a tiny padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

Protecting any folder with a password shall be easy if you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company. A user-friendly tool, that is integrated into the Hepsia CP, will enable you to choose the specific folder which you want to protect with a few clicks and all you'll need to type in will be the username and the password which will be used to access it subsequently. You'll not encounter any issues even if you have never had a website hosting account before, because you don't need any previous knowledge or programming skills to switch on the feature. If you repeat the same basic steps, you will be able to set up different usernames for the same password-protected area, so many people shall be able to access a certain folder with their own login credentials. You'll be able to see the secured folders instantly either in exactly the same section of the CP or in the File Manager section where you shall identify them by their little padlock icons.
