A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are supplied. This may be a whole Internet site or only one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to enter a username and a password. In case you input the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything extra. If the login details aren't correct, however, you will see a note that you aren't authorized to see the content. If this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is quite effective if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

All our hosting plans include an exceptionally handy tool which will enable you to secure any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only two mouse clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will only have to visit the Password Protection section, to select the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password which must be used in order to access the content in question. The function shall be turned on instantly, so in case you make an effort to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login information. You could create or remove numerous usernames for the very same folder, if necessary. When you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be marked with a little padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create password protection for any content that you have inside your semi-dedicated server account. We have added an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which you shall be able to enable the function with a few mouse clicks and without any difficulties, even if you're not really tech-savvy. You will only have to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the particular folder which has to be protected (the primary folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection will take effect at once, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL in your web browser, you will need to input the newly created login details before you can proceed. Additionally, you will be able to give different usernames for the same folder to a number of people, so you'll not need to share the same login credentials with anybody. Each password-protected folder shall have a tiny padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize such folders effortlessly.
