Not everyone has the option to do that. Plus I think it is unintuitive to have things outside of your actual "web site." You can disallow traffic with Apache fairly easily if you're paranoid of such things.

If your host doesn't give you a directory outside the webtree, find a new host that does :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?

We have our own dedicated server that we host client sites on. If I were to back out into the root then I would be at the level of all the other sites. It just doesn't make sense in my case.

Then you haven't set up your directories properly, IMHO. Let's say you want all of your client web directories under /var/www/vhosts. Create a dir for each client and set up each of your DocumentRoots as a dir inside of that one. This way all of your clients now have a directory above their web root that they can place into anything they want to keep private. /var/www/vhosts/client_[1 .. n]/htdocs brian
