If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a certain folder - either the primary Internet site folder or another one below it. In case this feature is active, a pop-up will appear anytime somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any way to get around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The feature can be helpful in numerous cases - if only certain people must be able to see specific files, if you are creating a site and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
Password Protected Directories in Website Hosting
Creating a password-protected area shall take merely a few mouse clicks and a few seconds when you host your sites in a website hosting account with our company. You shall not need to do anything complicated - you'll need to pick a domain/subdomain, to select which folder under it must be protected, and then to type the login name and password that'll be used to access that folder. In case a number of people need their own login details, there will not be a problem to set up a number of different usernames with access to the exact same folder. All protected folders shall appear with a padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you will always know where this option is activated. If you'd like to turn off the protection function for any folder, you can deactivate it from the very same section of the CP where you have enabled it.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall be able to protect any content which you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is a part of, so you shall not have to enter any code at any time. You will simply have to select one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the web hosting account and to select which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then input the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be ready. The protection will be activated straightaway, so anyone that tries to access the recently secured folder will have to input the correct login information. When a number of people have to be able to open the same content, you could set up a separate username for each one.
