If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a specific folder - either the primary site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this function is activated, a pop-up will appear every time somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder. If the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The function may be helpful in a variety of cases - if only a number of people must be able to see certain files, if you are building a website and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, and so forth.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Website Hosting
All our cloud website hosting include an exceptionally convenient tool that'll enable you to shield any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with just 2 clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll simply have to visit the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password that must be used to access the content in question. The function shall be activated straightaway, so in case you try to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to enter the login information. You could set up or remove multiple usernames for the same folder, if needed. When you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be indicated by a little padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to secure any content you have uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is part of, so you'll not need to enter any code at any time. You'll only have to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have in the website hosting account and to pick which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be ready. The protection will be activated at once, so anybody who tries to access the freshly protected folder will have to enter the right login info. When several individuals have to be able to access the same content, you could make a separate username for each one.
