If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a given folder - either the primary site folder or any other one below it. If this option is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the secured content. The feature may be helpful in a number of cases - if only a number of people need to be able to see particular files, if you work on a site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Web Hosting

All our Linux shared web hosting services include a very useful tool that will permit you to protect any folder in your account from unauthorized access with just two mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will just have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password which have to be used to access the content in question. The feature shall be active immediately, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to enter the login information. You may create or remove multiple usernames for the same folder, if necessary. If you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be shown with a little padlock icon.
