Password Protected Directories
This option will allow you to require a username and password to access a folder or folders from the web. This can be very useful when you need to limit access to a certain part of your site.
Please select the Password Protect Directories icon from your cPanel main page. A list of the directories on your account will appear
Select the directory you wish to limit access to. In the new page, please create a username and a password for your user. Select a name that will appear in the login screen and click on the Save button to activate the protection.
IP Deny Manager
This feature will allow you to block a range of IP addresses to prevent them from accessing your site. You can also enter a fully qualified domain name, and the IP Deny Manager will attempt to resolve it to an IP address for you
- To access the IP Deny Manager, click on the corresponding icon in the Security section of your cPanel interface.
- Enter the IP address or domain name you wish to deny access to in the blank field next to IP Address or Domain.
- Click on Add
Hot Link Protection
Hotlink protection prevents other websites from directly linking to files (as specified below) on your website. Other sites will still be able to link to any file type that you don't specify below (i.e., HTML files). An example of hot linking would be using an ![]()
tag to display an image from your site somewhere else on the Web. The end result is that the other site is stealing your bandwidth. List all sites below from which you wish to allow direct links. This system attempts to add all sites it knows you own to the list; however, you may need to add others.
