If you need to restrict access to a specific folder on your website (such as an admin area or staging site), you can easily apply password protection using cPanel.
Steps to Password-Protect a Folder:
- Log in to your cPanel from the Aviumshost Client Area.
- Go to Directory Privacy.
- Navigate to the folder you want to protect and click its name.
- Tick the option "Password protect this directory".
- Set a name for the protected area (this is shown on the login prompt).
- Create a username and password for access.
- Click Save.
Now anyone visiting that directory will be prompted to enter login credentials to proceed. For extra protection, use strong passwords and change them periodically.
