If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a given folder - either the main website folder or any other one below it. In case this option is turned on, a pop-up will appear anytime somebody 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 in case you have protected just the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one shall be able access the secured content. The option could be helpful in a variety of cases - if only a number of people must be able to see specific files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Website Hosting
With the password protection tool that comes with every single cloud website hosting package deal which we offer, you'll be able to shield any content that you have in your account with only a few clicks. As the tool is a component of our ground breaking Hepsia CP, it offers exactly the same simple interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. When you navigate to the Password Protection section, you will need to choose one of the domains or subdomains you have within the account and then decide whether the protection should be active for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password you want and you shall be ready. A small padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the same way you will be able to include a number of usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to create password protection for any content you have in your semi-dedicated server account. We've added an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you shall be able to switch on the feature with a few clicks and without any troubles, even if you're not quite tech-savvy. You will only need to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the particular folder which has to be protected (the main folder or a subfolder) and the login name and password. The protection will take effect right away, so if you try to open the password-protected URL inside your browser, you'll need to type in the newly created login credentials before you proceed. Additionally, you will be able to give different usernames for the exact same folder to a number of people, so you will not need to share the same login details with everyone. Any password-protected folder shall have a tiny padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize this sort of folders effortlessly.
