That isn't dark web, that's just putting a noindex meta tag on HTML pages you don't want search engines to index. or password-protecting pages with htaccess. Anyone who knows how to get to the pages can still do so with a normal browser. The fact that they aren't indexed by search engines doesn't make them "dark".
