If you would like keep some content concealed from the public eye, you can switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. In case this feature is activated, a pop-up shall appear each and every time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder. When the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that nobody shall be able access the shielded content. The function can be beneficial in numerous cases - if only certain people need to be able to see particular files, if you are creating a site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
With the password protection tool that comes with each shared hosting plan which we provide, you'll be able to shield any content which you have in your account with simply a few mouse clicks. Because the tool is an element of our innovative Hepsia CP, it offers the same simple interface and you'll not need any special skills to use it. Once you go to the Password Protection section, you will have to pick one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be turned on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you will be set. A tiny padlock icon within the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the same exact way you will be able to include many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you'd like several people to have their own login credentials.
