A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This could be a whole Internet site or only one page which is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will have to input a username and also a password. In case you type the correct ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without having to do anything additional. When the login credentials are not accurate, however, you will see a note that you aren't authorized to look at the content. If this option is active, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly effective if you wish to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting

All our cloud hosting plans feature a really useful tool which will enable you to secure any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only two mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll just have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which should be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password that must be used in order to access the content in question. The function will be turned on instantly, so if you try to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to enter the login credentials. You could set up or remove many usernames for the exact same folder, if necessary. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be indicated by a small padlock icon.
