If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can switch on password protection for a certain folder - either the main website folder or any other one below it. When this function is activated, a pop-up shall appear each and every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the secured content. The function can be helpful in a variety of cases - if only some people must be able to see certain files, if you are creating a website and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Web Hosting
All of our cloud web hosting feature a very handy tool which will allow you to shield any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only 2 clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you will just have to go to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password which have to be used to access the content in question. The function shall be turned on immediately, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you will be prompted to input the login details. You can create or remove many usernames for the very same folder, when necessary. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be marked with a little padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to protect any content that you've uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is a part of, so you will not have to write any code at any time. You'll simply need to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the website hosting account and to pick which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. After that you can type in the username and the password, that will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be all set. The protection shall be enabled immediately, so anyone who attempts to access the freshly protected folder will have to type in the right login information. When a number of people should be able to access exactly the same content, you can create a separate username for each one.
