A password-protected directory or area is a folder that may be accessed when a username and a password are typed in, so no unauthorized people may observe its content. This feature may be used for the main folder of a certain Internet site or exclusively for a specific subfolder in accordance with the needs you have. As an illustration, if you are creating a new Internet site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completely ready, you may want to limit the access to it completely, while if you want only some people to be able to access particular files, you are able to password-protect only a certain folder, while the other parts of the Internet site could be seen by everyone. In either case, a “403 Forbidden” error page shall appear in case the login details the visitor enters aren't right. Even a direct link to a file will not work provided any folder above it is password-protected.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

When you use any of our hosting plans, you shall be able to create password-protected areas easily even if you don't have any experience with this sort of matters. We've included a very easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts, so you shall be able to secure any folder within just a few seconds. You will have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder which has to be secured (the main one or a subfolder), and then to type in the username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question when you need it. Every protected folder will have a padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you'll be able to see immediately what content is secured and what is not. When necessary, you may create a number of different sets of login credentials for the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Securing any folder with a password shall be very simple if you host your sites within a semi-dedicated server account with us. A user-friendly tool, that is incorporated into the Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to pick the particular folder that you want to secure with a couple of clicks and all you will have to type in shall be the username and the password that'll be used to access it afterwards. You won't encounter any complications even if you have never had a website hosting account before, because you do not need any previous knowledge or coding skills to enable the feature. If you repeat the same very simple steps, you'll be able to create many usernames for the exact same password-protected area, so many people shall be able to access a particular folder with their own login credentials. You'll be able to see the protected folders easily either in the exact same section of the Control Panel or within the File Manager section where you will recognize them by their little padlock icons.
