A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are provided. This could be an entire website or only a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you'll see a browser pop-up in which you have to enter a username as well as a password. In case you enter the right ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content with no need to do anything else. When the login details aren't correct, however, you'll see information that you are not authorized to see the content. In case this function is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The option is incredibly useful if you need to restrict the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

All our hosting include an exceptionally useful tool that'll allow you to shield any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only 2 clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you'll simply have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type in the username and the password that have to be used in order to access the content in question. The feature shall be turned on right away, so in case you try to open the folder/website, you will be prompted to enter the login info. You may create or remove many usernames for the very same folder, when necessary. When you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be marked with a small padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to protect any content you have uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's a part of, so you shall not need to write any code at any time. You'll only have to pick one of the domains/subdomains which you have in the web hosting account and to pick which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then type in the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be good to go. The protection will be turned on immediately, so anyone that tries to access the freshly protected folder will have to input the accurate login details. In case several individuals must be able to open the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each one.
