A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This may be an entire site or just a single page that is in a subfolder. If you try to open this kind of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to type a username as well as a password. In case you enter the correct ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without needing to do anything extra. In case the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see a note that you are not permitted to see the content. When this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is very practical if you need to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Web Hosting

If you use any of our cloud web hosting plans, you'll be able to set up password-protected areas easily even if you don't have any experience with this sort of matters. We have incorporated an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts, so you shall be able to shield any folder within a matter of seconds. You'll only have to select a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder which must be protected (the main one or a subfolder), and then to type the desired username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question in the future. Any protected folder shall have padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to see easily what content is secured and what is not. If needed, you could make a number of sets of login details for precisely the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to protect any content you have uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it is part of, so you'll not have to enter any code at any time. You will only need to pick one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the hosting account and to determine which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type in the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be ready. The protection will be enabled straightaway, so anyone who tries to access the freshly protected folder shall have to type in the accurate login information. In case various people have to be able to access precisely the same content, you could set up a separate username for each one.
