Hello Team,
I have three configured ssl URLs for my domain like abcd.com, www.abcd.com & alpha.abcd.com. Everything works fine and all three urls are encrypted using lets encrypt. Now I would like temporarily block the access to abcd.com and www.abcd.com. Just keep alpha.abcd.com. How do I achieve this.
I have followed this tutorial for configuring SSL https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04
Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Hi!
You can disable access to these domains by editing each one’s nginx server block and adding the following block after server_name, listen, and ssl_*.
server {
....
location / {
deny all;
}
....
}
This will cause nginx to return a 403 Forbidden error on every part of the domains. If each domain has separate http and https server blocks, you will want to update both. Make sure you reload or restart nginx afterwards so that the changes take effect!
