If you would like keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main site folder or any other one below it. If this option is active, a pop-up shall appear each and every time anyone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody shall be able access the secured content. The function can be beneficial in a variety of scenarios - if only a few individuals must be able to see particular files, if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to secure any content you have uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it is a part of, so you will not have to input any code at any time. You will only have to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have in the hosting account and to select which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can input the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be ready. The protection will be enabled at once, so anybody who attempts to access the freshly secured folder will have to enter the accurate login information. When various people have to be able to open the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each of them.
