Is it possible to password protect an entire site? So users have to login in order to view the site and its contents?

Thanks

Hi DCadmin,

Yes, it is possible to password protect an entire website!

Password Protecting your Main Domain
Your website files are within your public_html folder, so you'll want to password protect the public_html directory itself.

Password Protecting an Addon Domain
Addon domains are generally located in public_html/domain.com. To password protect an addon domain, you'll need to password protect the "domain.com" folder.

How do I Password Protect a Directory?
To password protect a directory, you'll use the "Password Protect a Directory" feature within cPanel. For more help with doing this, please see:
How to Password Protect a Directory

I hope this helps! Be sure to let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

- Brad
