Can a business have a server connected to the Internet but limit

Not entirely sure what you're asking, but could you maybe achieve something like this with a WAN using a VPN?

Thanks,

Ash:

I'm sure this is an obvious question for many on this list, but I'm not above showing my ignorance.

I guess what I am asking -- if a client wanted an application written (in web languages) so that their employees could link all their different computers together and share/use information using browsers, is that possible using a server that is not connected to the Internet?

Look, I know that I can solve my clients problems by finding a host and writing scripts to do what they want -- that's not a problem. But everything I do is open to the world. Sure I can provide some level of security, but nothing like the security that can be provided behind closed and locked doors.

So, can I do what I do (i.e., programming) without having a host? Can I install a local server at my clients location and interface all their computers to use the server without them ever being connected to the Internet?

Maybe I should ask my grandson. :-)

Cheers,

tedd
