A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This could be a whole website or just a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up where you will have to input a username and also a password. In case you type in the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without needing to do anything more. If the login details aren't right, however, you shall see information that you aren't permitted to see the content. When this feature is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is incredibly useful if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting
When you use any of our web hosting packages, you'll be able to create password-protected areas with ease even if you have zero experience with this sort of matters. We've built in an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with all accounts, so you'll be able to protect any folder within a matter of seconds. You will simply have to select a domain or a subdomain and the specific folder which must be secured (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type in the desired username and password that will be used to access the folder in question later on. Each and every secured folder shall have padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you will be able to see immediately what content is secured and what is not. When necessary, you can make a number of sets of login details for precisely the same folder.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You shall be able to set up password protection for any content which you have in your semi-dedicated server account. We have integrated an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel via which you will be able to switch on the feature with a number of mouse clicks and with no troubles, even if you're not quite tech-savvy. You will only have to select the hostname (domain or subdomain), the particular folder which should be protected (the primary folder or a subfolder) as well as the login name and password. The protection shall take effect at once, so if you attempt to open the password-protected URL inside your Internet browser, you'll need to type in the newly created login details before you proceed. You will also be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of individuals, so you'll not have to share the same login details with anybody. Each password-protected folder shall have a compact padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize such folders with ease.
