Demo of a password protected restricted area on a website The link below is to a section of this website which has restricted access. Restricted areas such as this can be created for websites that wish to offer content to members only. You need to enter a valid username and password to enter. The username for this demo of a restricted area is username. The password is password. About Basic Authentication This method of restricting access is called using Basic Authentication. You should consider carefully whether this method is what you really need. For many sites which offer a subscription service, or simply want to restrict access to some content, this method is perfectly adequate. However, you should not use this method if the area you are protecting contains any sensitive information such as business or personal financial details. Such sensitive information really needs to be ultra secure, which is why shopping basket and buy now links (if they are set up properly) will take you to a secure server where the information is encrypted when travelling from your computer to the server. You can read more about these issues here. The reason Basic Authentication is not suitable for protecting highly sensitive information is that when you submit your username and password they travel accross the Internet unencrypted, and could potentially be discovered by anyone who had the access and the technical knowledge to know how to do this. If DRS Design creates an e-commerce site for you, all of the shopping basket and buy now links will be to a secure server. Contact DRS Design Link a restricted area to paid membership requirements 
Your website can also be set up to offer subscriptions for access to the restricted area - you will need to sign up with a card processing company (try PayPal - it's free to join as a merchant and there are no recurring membership fees either). When visitors to your site buy a subscription to the restricted area a username/password combination can be automatically issued enabling instant access. The process of a visitor buying a subscription takes place using encrypted, secure server connections. Usernames/passwords are automatically cancelled at the end of the subscription period if the subscriber does not renew membership. You can have your website designed with considerable control over various options, for example you can decide whether you want to have subscriptions automatically renew or not, you can set up trial subscriptions for special rates, you can decide what the rates and periods of membership will be, etc. For these facilities to work you will need the right web hosting package - commonly an Apache server supporting CGI / Perl / PHP and allowing the use of .htaccess files. DRS Design can advise you on your hosting. For more information on restricted area website features call now on 07913 860 970 or contact DRS Design here.
