If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a given folder - either the main site folder or another one below it. If this feature is turned on, 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 required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one shall be able access the shielded content. The function may be useful in a number of scenarios - if only certain people should be able to see specific files, if you are creating a website and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, etc.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

If you use any of our shared hosting packages, you will be able to create password-protected areas effortlessly even if you have no experience with such matters. We've integrated an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts, so you'll be able to shield any folder within a matter of seconds. You will only have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder which has to be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to enter the preferred username and password which will be used to access the folder in question at some point. Any protected folder will have a padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see immediately what content is protected and what's not. If required, you could make a number of sets of login details for the exact same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to secure any content that you've uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's a part of, so you'll not need to enter any code at any time. You'll only have to select one of the domains/subdomains which you have in the web hosting account and to choose which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then enter the username and the password, that will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be ready. The protection shall be switched on straightaway, so anyone who tries to access the newly secured folder will have to enter the accurate login details. In cases where several people have to be able to access the same content, you could make a separate username for each one.
