Folders beside public_html

Community support
#1

I host my website on 000Webhost.
I had filled all my scripts for my website in the folder “public_html” (Example: /public_html/index.html). And it was running correctly.

I would like to have a “private” folder on the same level (Example: /private_html/style.css) like public_html, but where only I can access and place things in it. I already tried it, but it doesn’t run anymore. The style sheet which is in the private folder wouldn’t be found

Is there any possibility for it to fix the problem?

"private_html" won’t work until this directory is placed in “public_html”.
Note:- Anything outside “public_html” will not work.
