I went to "Password protect directories" in cpanel and set the password to protect mydomain.com/oscommerce. It just protects mydomain.com/oscommerce not the whole website mydomain.com.

2. Now i want to find a way to protect mydomain.com.

Sorry, how to protect "public_html" folder. When i went to "Password protect directories" in cpanel, i can not see this foler:"public_html". The folders i see are the subfolders of "public_html".

It would list folders like:

/ (Current Folder)
_private
_vti_bin
_vti_cnf
_vti_log
_vti_pvt
_vti_txt
cgi-bin
images

Click / and protect.
