A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are provided. This could be a whole site or simply one page that is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to type in a username and also a password. In case you enter the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without having to do anything else. In case the login details are not accurate, however, you will see information that you are not permitted to see the content. If this function is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly practical if you want to prohibit 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 before it's ready.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

When you use any of our web hosting products, you will be able to create password-protected areas easily even if you have zero experience with this type of matters. We've integrated an incredibly easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts, so you'll be able to protect any folder within a matter of seconds. You'll only have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that has to be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to enter the desired username and password that will be used to access the folder in question at some point. Every secured folder shall have padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see immediately what content is protected and what's not. If necessary, you can create a number of sets of login details for the exact same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to set up password protection for any content you have inside your semi-dedicated server account. We have added an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel using which you will be able to activate the function with a few 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 specific folder which needs to be secured (the primary folder or a subfolder) and the login name and password. The protection will take effect instantaneously, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL within your browser, you will need to input the newly created login details in order to proceed. You'll also be able to give different usernames for the same folder to a number of individuals, so you will not have to share the same login credentials with everyone. Each password-protected folder shall have a compact padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you'll be able to recognize such folders in no time.
