Password Protected Directories
Understand more on password-protected directories and just what they bring to your site.
A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login details are provided. This can be an entire website or only a single page that's located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up in which you must input a username and a password. If you enter the right ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without needing to do anything else. When the login credentials aren't right, however, you shall see a message that you are not authorized to see the content. When this feature is activated, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is extremely practical if you wish to limit the access to some content or if you work on an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

When you navigate to the Password Protection section, you'll need to pick one of the domains or subdomains you have inside the account and then decide whether the protection should be turned on for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you'd like and you will be all set to go. A tiny padlock icon within the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you shall be able to include a number of usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create password protection for any content you have inside your
semi-dedicated server account. We have included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel using which you shall be able to activate the function with several mouse clicks and with no problems, even if you are not really tech-savvy. You'll simply have to select the hostname (domain or subdomain), the particular folder that must be secured (the main folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection will take effect instantly, so if you try to open the password-protected URL within your browser, you'll need to enter the newly created login details before you proceed. You'll also be able to give different usernames for the same folder to a number of people, so you will not have to share the same login credentials with anyone. Any password-protected folder will have a little padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize this kind of folders easily.
