Password protecting your directories has never been easier. This option allows you to select the directory you wish to password protect from a drop down box and then enter usernames and passwords of those you want to allow access to that part of your web site. You can remove them just as easily...all at the click of a button in your cPanel.

If you want to protect only a specific page, you should first create a special directory or subdirectory for it, put the page into that folder, and then assign username and password access to the folder containing your page. (Remember when you start moving pages around into folders within your web space, you also need to check the URL's on your other pages and modify them to reflect the new path/s to the moved pages.)

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRONTPAGE USERS:
The Password Protect feature modifies the .htaccess file, which you cannot modify if you are using FrontPage without corrupting your FP extensions and/or breaking your FrontPage. Here is how to password protect your directories/pages using your FrontPage program on your computer:

Note: A FrontPage sub web and a folder under your domain are basically the same.

1.	First, you will need to create a sub web that you want to protect. This sub web is the name of the directory you want to protect and CANNOT exist. Once in FrontPage:
	Select File --> New --> Web
	Click on 'Empty Web' In the text box labeled 'Specify the location of the new web' put in your complete domain name and the name of the folder or sub web you wish to create (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/folder)
	Then click on 'OK' and wait while you new sub web is created.
2.	Now that your new sub web is created, you will need to set the password protection for this sub web. You should already be in your new sub web. To verify, look at the URL in the title of FrontPage. To password protect this sub web:
	Select 'Tools' --> 'Security' -> 'Permissions'
	A 'Permissions' box will appear.
	Click 'Use unique permissions for this web' and click 'Apply'.
	Click on the 'Users' tab in the permissions box. You will see your current username listed. DO NOT remove this username.
	Click 'Only registered users have browse access'.
	Click 'Apply'.
	Click the 'Add' button
	Fill in the 'Name' 'Password' and 'Confirm Password' text fields and click 'OK'. If you want to add more users just go click on the 'Add' button again and fill in the new users information.
	Click on 'OK' and the 'Permissions' box should disappear.
