If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main Internet site folder or any other one below it. If this option is active, a pop-up will appear anytime anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no way to get around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one shall be able access the shielded content. The function can be useful in various scenarios - if only certain individuals need to be able to see specific files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting
All our shared website hosting plans feature a very handy tool that will allow you to protect any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with only 2 clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will simply have to navigate to 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 have to be used so as to access the content in question. The function will be activated right away, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login details. You could set up or remove many usernames for the very same folder, if needed. When you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be indicated by a little padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to protect any content which you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's part of, so you will not have to type in any code at any time. You will simply have to pick one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the website hosting account and to pick which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then enter the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be ready. The protection will be enabled instantly, so anybody who tries to access the recently secured folder shall have to type in the right login details. In case various individuals have to be able to access precisely the same content, you can create a separate username for each one.
