Password Protect your website with Sentry Login
by Paul Flyer
I had, in the past, tinkered with the notion of creating membership based websites. While there are plenty of CMS’ that could accomplish this, I have often wondered if there was a way to convert an established website into a password protected one without having to re-engineer the whole thing.
Well it looks like there is a way: Sentry Login. Sentry Login turns websites (or portions thereof) into member’s only password protected websites.
I have not yet tried out their service, I currently don’t have a need to but I always wondered what I would do if I decided to have member’s only kind of content. Re-engineering this website would be daunting. The prospect of dropping in some code sounds great.
Why would you want password protected content?
- some sites offer exclusive content to paying members
- maybe the websites content is free, but the tools and software need a password into order to enter and use.
- you want to create a special portion of your website for members to interact
- you may want to create some sort of space for private consulting or forum or the like
Sentry Login is intriguing enough to try. I would appreciate any comments from those who have tried it.

Yeah, Sentry Login ( http://www.Sentrylogin.com ) is widely used by lots of our friends and sister publications. It is the best way to create a membership site out of your blog or site, and the best way to integrate PayPal Subscriptions IPN with automated member access.
