This guide shows you how to password-protect any directory on your HOSTDOG hosting account using the built-in tool in your control panel. You can also set it up manually via .htaccess and .htpasswd files if you prefer more control.

This guide covers two methods to block IP addresses and control access to your HOSTDOG-hosted website: using the IP Blocker tool in your control panel, and writing manual .htaccess rules for more advanced scenarios such as allowing only specific IPs or blocking entire ranges.
