Your existing system very likely already has a username / password
mechanism available. Any reputable hosting company would support it.
You should decide, though, on what level of security is appropriate
for the username and password combinations. Unless the name and
password is just intended to be a small deterent, then you probably
don't want them going out "in the clear". Standard firewall
authentication for http URLs uses plaintext, so you'd probably be
wanting to switch to https. You may wish to consider leaving your
home page as http but have a link or a redirection to https .
