How can I add a secured folder?

If a folder is secured, the websites hosted in those folders will ask for password before they open.

Hint: Please note this option is not available in Windows.

1. Log in your control panel.
2. At the top follow ‘My Products’ > ‘Web hosting’.

4. From the vertical menu to your left choose “Security” and then the tab ‘Secured folders’.
5. Give a custom name to this protection that speaks to you.
6. Type in the path you would like to protect. Here is a hint: Use FTP to make sure the directory is correct.
7. Click on ‘+ Add Folder’.
8. Switch to the ‘Users Overview’ tab.
9. Type the Username and click on ‘+ Add User’.
10. Name the user, choose the password, select the access level. Click on ‘Add User’.
