Typical naming is shown below. We usually use the client or project name as a subdomain, sometimes abbreviated.

https://CLIENT_NAME.barques.dev

Create a .htpasswd file like below and put it in .htpasswds/public_html/ on the server

barques:test

Secure connection (SSL)

Add this code snippet to the .htaccess file inside ~/public_html/ to redirect http requests to https

# Begin SSL
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
#End SSL
