Is there a way to prevent public access to a sub-server?

Yup…just setup a Virtual Server and a Sub-Server under that VS. What I’d like to know is if I can prevent access outside of my network to that sub-server?

Main site: www.example.com which is public facing on ns1.example.com
Home Directory: /home/username

Sub-Server: subserver.example.com
Home Directory: /home/username/domains/subserver.example.com

Basically, the content in the sub-server’s public_html file would be a static website containing information that only a few people would be permitted to access.

Or…is there a better way to accomplish this?

You can use htaccess and setup username with a password otherwise no one will be able to access content of your subdomain. You could set separate username and password for each person who is allowed to visit your subdomain.
