A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are supplied. This can be a whole website or simply a single page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up where you will need to type in a username and a password. If you enter the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything extra. If the login details are not right, however, you'll see information that you are not permitted to see the content. When this option is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is extremely handy if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

If you use any of our shared hosting packages, you'll be able to set up password-protected areas with ease even if you have zero experience with this type of matters. We have integrated a very easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts, so you will be able to protect any folder within just a few seconds. You will have to select a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that has to be secured (the main one or a subfolder), and then to enter the preferred username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question later on. Every protected folder shall have padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll be able to see easily what content is secured and what is not. If necessary, you may create several different sets of login details for the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to set up password protection for any content that you have inside your semi-dedicated server account. We have included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you shall be able to switch on the function with several mouse clicks and without any complications, even if you're not very tech-savvy. You'll only need to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder that has to be secured (the main folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection shall take effect instantly, so if you attempt to open the password-protected URL in your browser, you will need to input the newly created login details before you can proceed. You will also be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of individuals, so you'll not have to share the same login credentials with everyone. Each password-protected folder shall have a small padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize such folders easily.
