[RESOLVED] Restricting an entire domain to yourself?

[Dolemite50]

Hi,

Can anybody please tell me how to temporarily restrict "mysite.com" and any subs ("mysite.com/anything") for personal access? I'm optimizing my DB and it may take up to a few days for transfer and testing. The gist of the environment is CPANEL-X, PHPMYADMIN, and a 1973 Farmer's Almanac.

Ideally would be for the public to receive a generic "Updating the site" message while my IP (or login?) had "business as usual" access. Is that possible? How do you keep out the masses?

("the masses" being my mother, some dude named VIAGRAM, and me on my other computer) :mad:

Thanks much. 🙂

if you are using apache you can simply use htaccess to password protect the web root. then it's a simple matter of not giving the password to your mother and viagram.

Thanks.
