===Password protected areas are possible with our webhosting, although please note we do not support Let's Encrypt certificates for password protected areas/subdomains at this time.===
 
You can password protect any part of your web site by creating a file called password.txt in any directory.
*Note: Protection of sub directories may be subverted by some cunning means, so this should not be assumed. To be sure, always put the password.txt file in every sub directory as well.
 
*Note: Password protection currently breaks Let's Encrypt certificates for theprotected coveredsubdomains. directoriesHowever, a password protected directory should still be accessible from a higher level. For example, protected.example.com wouldn't get a certificate, but could still be accessible over HTTPS via example.com/protected/subdomains.
 
You can download an example password.txt file, but remember to change the password and the username! [[File:password.txt.zip]] (unzip the file too!)
