If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a particular folder - either the main Internet site folder or a different one below it. In case this option is activated, a pop-up shall appear each and every time someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured only the domain.com folder. If the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the protected content. The feature could be useful in various cases - if only some individuals should be able to see specific files, if you work on a website and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting
All our web hosting plans feature a really useful tool that'll permit you to protect any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will simply have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to select the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that should be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password which should be used to access the content in question. The function shall be active straightaway, so in case you try to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login information. You can set up or remove a number of usernames for the same folder, if necessary. When you go to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be marked with a tiny padlock icon.
