because island webservices run their own servers it is easy to password protect a page or area of a web site.  visitors who come to the protected area are confronted with an alert box asking for a user name and password, if they do not know the password then they are not going to be able to get in.

there is no charge to password protect a page if you buy a web site from island webservices.

if you wish to use your own hosting arrangement it may be necessary to use PHP password protection or, if PHP is not enabled, then JavaScript password protection.

if you would like to use JavaScript password protection on your site go to this page for the free source code.
