A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This may be an entire site or just a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you will need to enter a username and a password. In case you type the right ones, you can continue browsing the content without having to do anything more. In case the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you'll see a note that you are not permitted to see the content. In case this option is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is incredibly useful if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting
All our Linux cloud hosting include an incredibly handy tool that will allow you to secure any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with only two clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website 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 needs to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password that should be used in order to access the content in question. The feature will be turned on right away, so in case you try to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to enter the login information. You could create or remove numerous usernames for the exact same folder, when necessary. If you go to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be shown with a tiny padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Protecting any folder with a password shall be quite simple if you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company.

You will not experience any difficulties even if you haven't had a website hosting account before, considering that you do not need any previous knowledge or programming skills to activate the function. If you repeat the same simple steps, you'll be able to set up many usernames for the exact same password-protected area, so a number of people will be able to access a particular folder with their own login details. You shall be able to see the protected folders at a glance either in precisely the same section of the CP or within the File Manager section where you will detect them by their small padlock icons.
