    Restricting access to websites

    (vodahost: main domain = hatvani.com) the domain i'm developing though is miniatureperfume.com. i consider myself a "newbie" since my web design skills are only basic static pages.

    i have a site that i want to publish and basic info/pics will be available to anyone but more detailed stuff is for members only. once registration is done then access is granted.

    what is the best way of achieving this? i understand that password protecting a directory with all the restricted pages may be considered as "spamming" (?) by vodahost (that's my past experience anyway) and was told that i shouldn't do it.

    by trawling through heaps of literature i've learnt that it can also be done with a database and setting access levels for certain pages. but all the stuff i've seen assumes that the reader has a vague idea of what they're doing! i have not been able to make sense of it all.

    am i on the right/wrong track? any suggestions? any sources of good, clear and in depth info on how to do this?

    thx in advance. i keep researching in the meantime...

      Must admit i am not sure why a restricted area might be classed as spam, assuming there is not a lot of duplication going on.
      But as zuriatman suggested a good login system would be a good route to go down. Think a few members of the forum do this.

        thanks. i see from many other posts i have read thru that a diy solution isn't that simple. hmmmmnnnnn.

        what about the security aspect? i have heard that javascript is easy to get thru, what about php scripts or the password protected directory methods?

        not that it will need high security... but leave a door open and someone will eventually walk in.
