Password protection

[Lewis White]

I wish to hide some details on my site,
Can our web pages be password protected?

Hi Lewis,

I am not 100% sure, but I have never come across a way to password protect a site using the GDI site builder.  Of course, I have never tried but my gut is saying no.

However, here is something you could do.

Create a WordPress blog as a subdomain to your site.  So you could have www.members.lewiswhite.ws or something similar.

Then, do a search for WP plugins that will password protect your WordPress site.  There are many out there, but I cannot suggest any as I have not personally used any.  A quick search revealed a few that received a 5 star rating.

Then, on your site builder site create a link to "Members" or whatever, that points to your subdomain.  When someone clicks that, they will need a password to continue further.

Let us know how it works for you or if you find another way.

Hey there

I'm not really sure about the sitebuilder too.

BUT, if your using basic hosting (you use your own program to create your website and then upload through FTP) you may be able to create a .htaccess file which will allow you to password protect certain areas of your site (including webpages and folders).

I'm not sure if this is possible with GDI's servers as I've never tried it before. If you want more info, let me know mate.
