Sonic.net

I want to upload a website I'm building so clients can see it, but we're not ready to go public yet. Sonic is hosting it.

Whether it's by password protection or some other method, I want to keep it private until we're ready to go live, then I'll just upload it normally. Is there a way I can upload it so only certain people can see it?

I'm a complete noob at website building, so a step-by-step guide would be nice.

Password protecting the website using .htaccess is probably the simplest way. We have some instructions on how to do that here. The instructions talk about creating a .htpasswd file by logging in to our shell server. If that's something you're unfamiliar with, a really easy way to generate the contents of that file is by using this tool.

Give that a try, and let us know how it goes.

Your second link is broken. Where do I go?

Never mind, lrn2scroll.

It seems to be working. Thanks!

Glad you found it despite the broken link! Fixed that.
