If this feature is active, a pop-up will appear every time a person 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 secured the domain.com folder. When the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one shall be able access the protected content. The function may be beneficial in numerous cases - if only a few individuals should be able to see particular files, if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

All our Linux shared hosting packages include an incredibly convenient tool which will allow you to secure any folder in your account from unauthorized access with just two clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia web hosting CP, you will only have to go to the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that needs to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type in the username and the password which should be used to access the content in question. The feature shall be activated at once, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to input the login credentials. You could create or remove many usernames for the exact same folder, if required. When you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be marked with a little padlock icon.

You will be able to set up password protection for any content that you have within your semi-dedicated server account. We have added an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel using which you shall be able to enable the function with several clicks and without any difficulties, even if you're not really tech-savvy. You will only need to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the particular folder that should be secured (the primary folder or a subfolder) and the login name and password. The protection shall take effect immediately, so if you attempt to open the password-protected URL inside your Internet browser, you will need to input the newly created login credentials before you proceed. Additionally, you will be able to give different usernames for the exact same folder to a number of individuals, so you'll not have to share the same login credentials with everyone. Any password-protected folder will have a compact padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you'll be able to recognize this sort of folders in no time.
