A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are supplied. This may be a whole site or simply one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up in which you have to input a username as well as a password. If you type the appropriate ones, you can continue exploring the content without having to do anything additional. If the login details are not correct, however, you'll see a message that you aren't allowed to look at the content. If this feature is activated, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is very practical if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you work on an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting

If you use any of our shared website hosting plans, you'll be able to create password-protected areas easily even if you don't have any experience with this type of matters. We have integrated an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with all accounts, so you will be able to shield any folder within a matter of seconds. You will simply have to choose a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder that must be secured (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type in the desired username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question later on. Each and every protected folder shall have padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see at a glance what content is secured and what is not. If required, you can create several different sets of login details for exactly 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 within your semi-dedicated server account. We've included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel where you will be able to switch on the feature with several mouse clicks and without any troubles, even if you're not quite tech-savvy. You'll simply have to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder which has to be secured (the main folder or a subfolder) as well as the login name and password. The protection shall take effect immediately, so if you attempt to open the password-protected URL inside your browser, you'll need to type the newly created login credentials before you proceed. Additionally, you'll be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of people, so you will not need to share the same login credentials with anybody. Any password-protected folder will have a little padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize this sort of folders easily.
