If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to activate password protection for a particular folder - either the primary Internet site folder or any other one below it. In case this function is enabled, a pop-up will appear anytime someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. When the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The feature may be useful in a number of cases - if only a few people should be able to see certain files, if you work on a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Web Hosting
All of our shared web hosting include a very convenient tool which will permit you to secure any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you'll simply have to visit the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password that must be used in order to access the content in question. The feature shall be active right away, so in case you attempt to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to type in the login details. You can create or remove many usernames for the same folder, if needed. When you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be marked with a compact padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll 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 part of, so you'll not have to type in any code at any time. You'll simply need to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have in the hosting account and to select which folder should 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'll be ready. The protection shall be turned on instantly, so anybody who attempts to access the freshly protected folder shall have to enter the accurate login details. If several individuals must be able to access the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each.
