If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a certain folder - either the main website folder or another one below it. In case this feature is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each and every time anyone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no way to get around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody shall be able access the shielded content. The function may be beneficial in a number of scenarios - if only some individuals must be able to see particular files, if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
With the password protection tool that comes with each and every shared hosting package that we offer, you will be able to shield any content which you have inside your account with only a few mouse clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is a component of our innovative Hepsia CP, it features the exact same uncomplicated interface and you shall not need any special skills to use it. As soon as you visit the Password Protection section, you'll need to select one of the domains or subdomains you have inside the account and then choose if the protection should be turned on for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you'd like and you shall be set. A tiny padlock symbol within the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the same way you'll be able to add multiple usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Protecting any folder with a password will be easy if you host your Internet sites inside a semi-dedicated server account with us. A user-friendly tool, that's integrated into the Hepsia CP, will permit you to choose the specific folder which you want to secure with a couple of clicks and all you'll need to enter shall be the username and the password which will be used to access it afterwards. You'll not encounter any issues even if you have never had a website hosting account before, due to the fact that you do not need any previous knowledge or computer programming skills to switch on the feature. If you repeat the same simple steps, you will be able to create many usernames for the same password-protected area, so many people shall be able to access a particular folder with their own login details. You will be able to see the secured folders conveniently either in the exact same section of the Control Panel or inside the File Manager section where you will detect them by their little padlock icons.
