If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to activate password protection for a certain folder - either the main Internet site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this function is activated, a pop-up will appear each and every time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The option could be useful in a number of scenarios - if only a number of individuals should be able to see certain files, if you are developing a website and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

Creating a password-protected area shall take just a few clicks and a few seconds when you host your sites in a shared hosting account with us. You shall not need to do anything difficult - you'll have to select a domain/subdomain, to choose which folder under it has to be secured, and then to type the login name and password that will be used to access that folder. In case a number of individuals need their own login credentials, there shall not be a problem to make a variety of different usernames with access to the exact same folder. All protected folders will appear with a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will always know where this option is activated. If you wish to turn off the security function for any folder, you can deactivate it from the same exact section of the CP where you have enabled it.

If you repeat the same very simple steps, you will be able to set up different usernames for the exact same password-protected area, so many people shall be able to access a certain folder with their own login details. You shall be able to see the secured folders very easily either in the exact same section of the Control Panel or within the File Manager section where you'll detect them by their little padlock icons.
