| This demo will show you how to password protect a directory through your cPanel. Password protecting a directory makes it so that a log in prompt appears when you attempt to view the directory in your internet browser. A visitor will only be able to view the contents of the directory if they have a valid username and password.

| | |
| {{note|Password protecting a directory will also cause any directories within the password protected directory to be password protected as well. For example, if the following directory:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>http://example.com/stuff/</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| was password protected any folders within the "stuff" folder would be password protected as well, such as:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>http://example.com/stuff/notes/</nowiki>}}
