If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you could enable password protection for a certain folder - either the primary site folder or another one below it. In case this function is active, a pop-up shall appear every time a person 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 in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one will be able to access the protected content. The feature could be useful in a variety of situations - 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, etc.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

All of our hosting feature an incredibly useful tool that will permit you to secure any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with simply two mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will simply have to go to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password which have to be used to access the content in question. The function will be activated straightaway, so if you try to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login details. You can create or remove many usernames for the very same folder, if necessary. If you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be indicated by a compact padlock icon.
