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?

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
