Password Protected Directories
Discover more details on password-protected directories and what they bring to your site.
A password-protected directory or area is a folder that could be accessed only if a username and a password are provided, so no unauthorized people could view its content. This feature could be used for the primary folder of a specific website or only for a specific subfolder in accordance with your preferences. As an illustration, if you are developing a new site and you don't want people to see it before it's ready, you might want to prohibit the access to it completely, and if you need only some people to be able to access particular files, you'll be able to password-protect only a certain folder, while the other parts of the website may be seen by everyone. Anyway, a “403 Forbidden” error page shall appear in the event that the login details the visitor inputs are not correct. Even a direct link to a file will not work so long as any folder above it is password-protected.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create password protection for any content that you have in your

You will simply need to select the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder which needs to be protected (the primary folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection shall take effect immediately, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL in your web browser, you'll have to type the newly created login credentials in order to proceed. Additionally, you'll be able to give different usernames for the same folder to a number of people, so you will not need to share the same login credentials with anybody. Each password-protected folder will have a tiny padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you'll be able to recognize this sort of folders easily.
