If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a certain folder - either the main site folder or any other one below it. If this function is enabled, a pop-up will appear anytime someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured only the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one shall be able access the shielded content. The feature may be useful in various scenarios - if only certain people need to be able to see particular files, if you are developing a website and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.
Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting
With the password protection tool that is included with each and every web hosting package deal that we provide, you'll be able to secure any content that you have in your account with only a few mouse clicks. Since the tool is a component of our revolutionary Hepsia Control Panel, it features the exact same simple interface and you will not require any special skills to use it. As soon as you check out the Password Protection section, you'll need to select one of the domains or subdomains which you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be activated for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then type in the username and the password that you would like and you shall be set. A little padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you shall be able to add a number of 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 Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to secure any content that you've uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's part of, so you shall not need to type in any code at any time. You'll only have to pick one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the web hosting account and to select which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can type the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be all set. The protection will be turned on instantly, so anyone who tries to access the recently secured folder shall have to type in the accurate login details. When various people must be able to open the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each one.
