I need to create a section on my site that is entered by password. Is it best to maybe use my template and create a subdomain? Or use another folder like site.com/members or use members.site.com

Do I create a password page from cPanel? What are the restrictions? My site is pure html/css

I would use something.com/members. Secure it with htaccess and htpasswd (Google them for more information) if you are unable to secure via scripted methods. Good luck!
