If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a particular folder - either the primary Internet site folder or another one below it. When this option is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each and every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the protected content. The function may be helpful in a variety of cases - if only certain individuals should be able to see specific files, if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting

If you use any of our cloud hosting plans, you will be able to set up password-protected areas without difficulty even if you have zero experience with this type of matters. We have included an incredibly easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts, so you shall be able to shield any folder within a matter of seconds. You will simply have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder which has to be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to input the preferred username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question at some point. Each and every secured folder will have a padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see at a glance what content is protected and what is not. If necessary, you could make a number of sets of login credentials for the exact same folder.
