A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This could be a whole Internet site or only one page that's located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up where you will have to enter a username and also a password. In case you type the right ones, you can continue exploring the content without the need to do anything extra. When the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see information that you are not authorized to look at the content. When this option is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is very effective if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Web Hosting
All our Linux shared web hosting plans include a really useful tool that will permit you to protect any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only two mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you will simply have to visit the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which has to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password that have to be used so as to access the content in question. The feature will be activated at once, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you will be prompted to input the login information. You could create or remove many usernames for the same folder, when necessary. When you go to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be indicated by a little padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to shield any content that you've uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's part of, so you'll not have to enter any code at any time. You'll only need to pick one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the web hosting account and to select which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. After that you can type in the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be good to go. The protection shall be activated right away, so anybody who attempts to access the newly secured folder shall have to input the correct login details. If various individuals should be able to open the same content, you could make a separate username for each.
