A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the correct login details are supplied. This can be a whole Internet site or just one page which is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to enter a username and also a password. If you enter the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without having to do anything extra. In case the login details are not correct, however, you will see information that you aren't allowed to view the content. If this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is quite useful if you need to limit 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 Cloud Website Hosting
With the password protection tool that is included with each cloud website hosting package deal which we offer, you shall be able to shield any content that you have inside your account with only a few clicks. As the tool is a component of our revolutionary Hepsia Control Panel, it features exactly the same simple interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. When you visit the Password Protection section, you will need to choose one of the domains or subdomains that you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be switched on for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you'd like and you will be ready. A little padlock symbol within the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the same exact way you shall be able to add multiple usernames and passwords for the same folder if you'd like several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to secure any content that you have uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's part of, so you'll not need to input any code at any time. You will only have to pick one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the hosting account and to determine which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can enter the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be good to go. The protection will be switched on instantly, so anyone who tries to access the freshly secured folder will have to type in the right login details. If several people must be able to access the exact same content, you could make a separate username for each.
