A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the correct login credentials are provided. This may be a whole Internet site or just one page that is located in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up in which you will need to type a username and also a password. If you type in the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without having to do anything extra. If the login credentials are not accurate, however, you'll see a note that you are not authorized to look at the content. In case this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is quite useful if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

All our web hosting services include an incredibly convenient tool which will enable you to protect any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with simply two clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will only have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which needs to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password which should be used to access the content in question. The function shall be active instantly, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to input the login info. You may set up or remove a number of usernames for the very same folder, if required. When you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be shown with a little padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to secure any content that you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's a part of, so you will not have to enter any code at any time. You'll simply need to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the website hosting account and to pick which folder should be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can enter the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be good to go. The protection shall be activated immediately, so anyone that attempts to access the newly protected folder shall have to input the correct login details. If several individuals must be able to open precisely the same content, you could make a separate username for each of them.
