Password Protected Directories
What are password-protected directories? What do they imply for your Internet site?
A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This can be a whole Internet site or only one page that is located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to type a username and also a password. If you enter the correct ones, you can continue browsing the content without the need to do anything else. When the login credentials aren't correct, however, you will see a message that you are not allowed to see the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is very handy if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Web Hosting
When you use any of our shared web hosting products, you will be able to make password-protected areas easily even if you have zero experience with this type of matters. We have built in an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts, so you'll be able to shield any folder within merely seconds. You will simply have to choose a domain or a subdomain and the specific folder which has to be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type in the username and password that will be used to access the folder in question at some point. Each and every protected folder will have a padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you will be able to see easily what content is secured and what's not. If needed, you may create a number of different sets of login details for exactly the same folder.
