If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a specific folder - either the primary site folder or any other one below it. If this feature is turned on, a pop-up will appear each time someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one will be able to access the secured content. The feature may be beneficial in a number of scenarios - if only a number of individuals need to be able to see particular files, if you are building an Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

Setting up a password-protected area shall take no more than a few mouse clicks and a few seconds when you host your websites in a hosting account with us. You will not need to do anything difficult - you'll have to choose a domain/subdomain, to choose which folder under it has to be protected, and then to input the login name and password which will be used to access that folder. If a number of individuals need their own login details, there will not be a problem to create several different usernames with access to the same exact folder. All protected folders shall appear with a padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll always know where this feature is enabled. If you wish to disable the security feature for any folder, you can disable it from the same section of the CP in which you have enabled it.

You shall also see 2 boxes where you will need to type the login name and the password that'll be necessary to access the folder in question and you shall be all set to go.
