If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a specific folder - either the primary website folder or a different one below it. When this function is enabled, a pop-up shall appear each and every time a person tries 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 if you have protected just the domain.com folder. When the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one shall be able access the secured content. The option could be useful in a number of cases - if only certain people need to be able to see specific files, if you are building a site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

When you use any of our web hosting plans, you will be able to create password-protected areas without difficulty even if you have no experience with this type of matters. We have built in a really easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with all accounts, so you shall be able to secure any folder within just seconds. You will only have to select a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder which must be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type the username and password that will be used to access the folder in question at some point. Each and every protected folder shall have padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see easily what content is secured and what is not. When necessary, you could make a number of sets of login credentials for the same folder.
