If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to activate password protection for a specific folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. Whenever this feature is turned on, a pop-up shall appear every time a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The feature could be helpful in a number of situations - if only some people should be able to see certain files, if you work on a website and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
With the password protection tool provided with every shared hosting plan which we provide, you will be able to secure any content which you have within your account with only a few mouse clicks. Because the tool is a component of our ground breaking Hepsia Control Panel, it features exactly the same uncomplicated interface and you'll not need any special skills to use it. When you go to the Password Protection section, you will need to choose one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be turned on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you'd like and you shall be all set to go. A little padlock icon within the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you'll be able to add several usernames and passwords for the same folder if you'd like several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to set up password protection for any content you have within your semi-dedicated server account. We have added an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel using which you will be able to activate the feature with several mouse clicks and with no difficulties, even if you are not quite tech-savvy. You'll simply need to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder which should be protected (the primary folder or a subfolder) and the login name and password. The protection will take effect instantly, so if you make an effort to open the password-protected URL inside your web browser, you'll need to enter the newly created login details in order to proceed. You will also be able to give different usernames for the exact same folder to a number of people, so you'll not have to share the same login details with anybody. Each password-protected folder will have a tiny padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize this type of folders with ease.
