: Allow third party to use domain subdirectory without risk to your server If you have a live site on example.com, is it possible to allow third-parties to set up their own site at example.com/project1,
If you have a live site on example.com, is it possible to allow third-parties to set up their own site at example.com/project1, example.com/project2 etc without subjecting your server to risk?
I know that this is possible via subdomains, e.g. project1.example.com, project2.example.com, but this question is specifically about directories on the same subdomain.

Yes, it is possible, if you did not set any permission to Root Domain.
For example, if you install WordPress blog in subdirectory like example.com/blog/ and let's assume, your blog is hijacked by hackers, then they can change index page of /blog address(Because they have access to WP database), they can't change anything in your root domain unless, you are not using same database, or completely different database. So, it's depends on which type of permission you are granted.
Subdomains helps in security, because you can host your subdomain in different host/server(by Using CNAME) with different credential.
