If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to activate password protection for a given folder - either the primary site folder or a different one below it. When this option is active, a pop-up shall appear each and every time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured only the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the shielded content. The feature could be beneficial in various situations - if only a few people should be able to see specific files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Web Hosting
Creating a password-protected area will take no more than a few mouse clicks and a few seconds when you host your sites inside a shared web hosting account with our company. You'll not need to do anything complicated - you will need to choose a domain/subdomain, to select which folder under it must be protected, and then to type the login name and password that'll be used to access that folder. When a number of people need their own login details, there won't be a problem to set up several different usernames with access to the exact same folder. All secured folders will appear with a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall always know where this function is enabled. If you would like to turn off the protection function for any folder, you can deactivate it from the same exact section of the Control Panel where you have enabled it.
