Just started my new site yesterday.
www.hexzero.co.uk

I brought the domain and hosting from stream line, I use them for my other sites and they are really good.
Now I will be having a password protected area of the site streamline want me to pay £15 a year for this feature.
Is there any way I can do this for free I know how to do little scripts with javascript that a two year old could hack but I need somthing strong.

Any Ideas?

No. Not with Windows. You can password protect scripts, databases individually, but you cannot password protect a folder without the add-on.

If you want a user area then you need to install a membership system.

If they use Apache then see if you can add your own .htaccess files.
If so then you can use .htaccess password protection.
