A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are supplied. This can be a whole site or simply a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up where you must type in a username as well as a password. If you type the correct ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without having to do anything additional. When the login details aren't right, however, you shall see a message that you are not authorized to see the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is extremely effective if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

All of our shared hosting include a really convenient tool that will permit you to protect any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with just two mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you'll only have to go to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password that should be used so as to access the content in question. The feature will be turned on straightaway, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login details. You may create or remove a number of usernames for the same folder, if required. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be shown with a small padlock icon.
