If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or another one below it. If this function is turned on, a pop-up will appear every time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the secured content. The feature can be helpful in a variety of situations - if only some individuals must be able to see certain files, if you are building a site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Website Hosting
With the password protection tool that comes with every cloud website hosting package that we offer, you will be able to shield any content that you have in your account with merely a few clicks. As the tool is an element of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel, it features the exact same simple interface and you'll not require any special skills to use it. Once you visit the Password Protection section, you will need to choose one of the domains or subdomains you have inside the account and then decide if the protection should be active for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type in the username and the password that you would like and you will be all set to go. A small padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you will be able to add many 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
Protecting any folder with a password will be very easy if you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company. A user-friendly tool, that's integrated into the Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to pick the specific folder which you want to protect with a couple of mouse clicks and all you'll need to enter shall be the username and the password that'll be used to access it later on. You will not experience any complications even if you have never had a web hosting account before, because you do not need any previous knowledge or programming skills to activate the feature. If you repeat the same simple steps, you'll be able to set up different usernames for the very same password-protected area, so a number of people will be able to access a particular folder with their own login credentials. You shall be able to see the secured folders at a glance either in the same section of the Control Panel or inside the File Manager section where you'll recognize them by their little padlock icons.
