A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This may be a whole website or simply a single page that is in a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you'll see a browser pop-up where you have to type in a username as well as a password. If you input the correct ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything more. In case the login credentials are not correct, however, you shall see a message that you are not permitted to view the content. When this option is active, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The option is very practical if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
Password Protected Directories in Website Hosting
With the password protection tool that is included with each and every website hosting package deal that we offer, you'll be able to secure any content which you have in your account with merely a few mouse clicks. Because the tool is a component of our revolutionary Hepsia Control Panel, it offers the same simple interface and you shall not need any special skills to use it. Once you go to the Password Protection section, you'll need to choose one of the domains or subdomains that you have within the account and then choose whether the protection should be activated for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you'd like and you'll be all set to go. A small padlock icon within the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you shall be able to include 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
You shall be able to create password protection for any content which you have in your semi-dedicated server account. We have included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel where you shall be able to activate the function with several clicks and with no difficulties, even if you are not very tech-savvy. You will simply need to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder which must be secured (the primary folder or a subfolder) as well as the login name and password. The protection shall take effect instantly, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL in your web browser, you'll need to type in the newly created login details before you proceed. Additionally, you will be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of people, so you'll not have to share the same login credentials with everybody. Any password-protected folder shall have a compact padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize this type of folders with ease.
