amansker Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My client has purchased a Starter Plan for web developement purposes. I am the developer. We will host multiple accounts on the server during development and then move to the live server. Each account must have a unique URL login and not be available to the public. I'm aware of the subdomains and unique FTP accounts, but not sure of the easiest way to handle the URL login. Does the cPanel offer an option to force a login for a subdirectory and/or subdomain? Another option is a PHP login which requires code on each secure page, but if the functionality is available, I would rather not mess with it.

TCH-Bruce Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 cPanel will allow you to create accounts for logging in with FTP but that's all. Oh, and the Starter Plan is for a "Single" account. Not sure what you are meaning by multiple accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said "multiple clients" which are in their own subdirectories. This is used only for email newsletters, very simple site, etc. They are built here and then moved.

amansker Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I found a solution within cPanel. It uses .htaccess / user/pw at the root or in subdirectories. cPanel / Security / Password Protect Directories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
