If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. If this option is activated, a pop-up shall appear anytime someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. If the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody shall be able access the shielded content. The option may be useful in a variety of cases - if only a number of people need to be able to see specific files, if you work on a site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

When you use any of our shared hosting products, you will be able to create password-protected areas easily even if you don't have any experience with this sort of matters. We've built in an incredibly easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts, so you will be able to secure any folder within just a few seconds. You will simply have to select a domain or a subdomain and the specific folder that should be secured (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to enter the desired username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question at some point. Each and every secured folder shall have padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see at a glance what content is secured and what's not. If required, you can create a number of different sets of login credentials for exactly the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to protect any content which you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it is part of, so you will not have to write any code at any time. You will simply have to select one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the web hosting account and to select which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be all set. The protection will be switched on straightaway, so anyone that attempts to access the recently secured folder will have to type in the accurate login info. When a number of individuals should be able to open precisely the same content, you could set up a separate username for each.
