hi is there a way to have a simple control over vsitors on a website? just a password so only members (friends ) can see a website ???

Hi Levante,
"Simple" is a relative term here ... if you know php then yes, if you don't know php then no.
I don't know php so the answer for me would be no there is no easy way to password protect my HTML/CSS site for family or members only at the moment. Do you have a friend or relative that knows php that could do you right?


There is a way to utilize a minimal security feature of invention (blessed be Necessity ... the Mother of Invention) for a private HTML and/or HTML/CSS Web. You could create the site for family and/or members and bury it in a folder, or two/three/four, (using some incoherent folder name(s)) off of the "Root" directory of the hosted account and only let your family and/or members have the buried URL address (try to keep it as clean of links, external or internal, as much as possible and remove any "META" keywords from the "HEAD" section of the Web page(s) to keep search engines away).


Hope this helps you out.

thanks mate

...or you could use .htaccess, it's fairly easy to set up.

There's plenty of easy-to-follow .htaccess tutorials, if you use google, which explain how to password protect a directory. Here is the Apache manual for .htpassword files:
