A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This could be an entire site or only a single page which is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will have to enter a username and a password. In case you type in the correct ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without the need to do anything additional. If the login details are not accurate, however, you shall see a note that you aren't allowed to see the content. When this function is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is quite handy if you need to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting

All of our Linux shared website hosting feature a very convenient tool that will permit you to secure any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you'll just have to visit the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which has to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password that have to be used in order to access the content in question. The function shall be activated at once, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login information. You may set up or remove multiple usernames for the exact same folder, if required. When you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be shown with a little padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

Protecting any folder with a password shall be quite simple if you host your websites inside a semi-dedicated server account with us. A user-friendly tool, that is built into the Hepsia CP, will permit you to pick the specific folder which you want to secure with a few clicks and all you'll need to input will be the username and the password that will be used to access it afterwards. You won't encounter any issues even if you have never had a hosting account before, due to the fact that you do not need any previous knowledge or computer programming skills to activate the function. If you repeat the same very simple steps, you'll be able to create different usernames for the exact same password-protected area, so a number of people shall be able to access a particular folder with their own login credentials. You'll be able to see the protected folders instantly either in the very same section of the CP or within the File Manager section where you will identify them by their small padlock icons.
