If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a certain folder - either the primary website folder or another one below it. If this function is active, a pop-up will appear anytime someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody shall be able access the protected content. The feature may be useful in various scenarios - if only some people should be able to see certain files, if you are building an Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
All our shared packages include an incredibly convenient tool that'll permit you to shield any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with simply two mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will simply have to visit the Password Protection section, to select the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which needs to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type in the username and the password that should be used to access the content in question. The feature shall be active straightaway, so in case you try to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login details. You may set up or remove numerous usernames for the same folder, when necessary. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be indicated by a small padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to shield any content which you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's part of, so you'll not have to input any code at any time. You'll only have to pick one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the website hosting account and to determine which folder has 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 good to go. The protection will be enabled at once, so anyone that tries to access the recently secured folder will have to enter the right login details. When several individuals have to be able to open the same content, you can create a separate username for each one.
