Is it safe to host a website outside public_html

I am hosting a website where i host my main site in the /home/username/public_html while i host my blog in /home/username/blog

is it safe that i host the blog in a d开发者_开发技巧ifferent folder (/home/username/blog )

There is nothing special about a directory called "public_html" other than that the web server are often configured to look for content there (and some web servers do so by default).

The name is just a convention.
