Hypertext Access or htaccess was originally created as a default name of the Apache server directory configuration file. Its purpose is to provide the power to customize directories of a server’s primary configuration file. These directives are all required to be in .htaccess context and can only be used with the correct command lines. The .htaccess file controls not only the directories it was created in, but all subdirectories within it as well. You can use this file for password protection. Password protecting your directories and website can be done several ways yet is easily managed by way of the cPanel.creating two files, .htaccess and htpasswd will solve your problem.hosting security should be taken care seriously because there are many people who will try to hack the sites.
