A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are provided. This can be an entire website or only one page that's located in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up in which you have to enter a username and also a password. In case you type in the correct ones, you can continue browsing the content with no need to do anything extra. If the login credentials aren't right, however, you shall see a message that you aren't allowed to look at the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is extremely handy if you need to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Web Hosting
With the password protection tool provided with every single cloud web hosting package deal that we provide, you shall be able to shield any content which you have in your account with just a few clicks. As the tool is a component of our revolutionary Hepsia Control Panel, it offers the exact same simple interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. As soon as you navigate to the Password Protection section, you will have to pick one of the domains or subdomains that you have inside the account and then decide if the protection should be activated for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password you want and you will be set. A small padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the same exact way you will be able to include many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to set up password protection for any content which you have inside your semi-dedicated server account. We've integrated an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel using which you shall be able to enable the function with a number of clicks and with no difficulties, even if you are not very tech-savvy. You'll simply have to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder that needs to be protected (the main folder or a subfolder) as well as the login name and password. The protection will take effect right away, so if you make an effort to open the password-protected URL inside your browser, you will need to input the newly created login details before you can proceed. You will also be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of individuals, so you'll not need to share the same login credentials with everyone. Each password-protected folder will have a small padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll be able to recognize this kind of folders in no time.
