A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the correct login details are provided. This can be a whole Internet site or just one page that is in a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up where you will have to type a username and a password. If you type the right ones, you can continue browsing the content without needing to do anything else. When the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see information that you aren't authorized to view the content. If this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is quite handy if you need to limit the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
With the password protection tool supplied with each shared hosting package which we offer, you'll be able to shield any content which you have within your account with just a few clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is a component of our ground breaking Hepsia CP, it provides exactly the same uncomplicated interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. Once you visit the Password Protection section, you will need to select one of the domains or subdomains which you have within the account and then decide if the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you would like and you will be all set. A tiny padlock icon inside 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 Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to secure any content which you have uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's part of, so you shall not have to write any code at any time. You'll only need to choose one of the domains/subdomains which you have in the hosting account and to determine which folder should be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then type the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be good to go. The protection shall be activated straightaway, so anyone who tries to access the recently protected folder will have to enter the accurate login info. If several people should be able to access exactly the same content, you can create a separate username for each.
