I have built a website with a hosting company that only offers "very" basic password protection, meaning that you can only protect one page at a time with one password. I want to transform my site into a member's only site, and I need something more advanced than this. Unfortunately, my hosting company is crappy and doesn't use PHP or htaccess, so this means both these options are not workable. I used a JavaScript code last year, but JavaScript can't stop the search engines from sending visitors to pages they shouldn't be on(pages that I want to password protect.). Having said that, is there a way to password protect my pages using some type of software of HTML?
Nowadays, hosting is very cheap. Even in freehosting, you can use PHP, MySQL without any banner ads. Why stick to your current hosting?
