Topic: webhosting

Ok i've read the manual, and searched the forums, but am still confused. i have my site setup as the primary site www.andrewscomputerservice.us
Now i want to host other peoples sites like www.andrewscomputerservice.us/site2 or http://site2.andrewscomputerservice.us
I want the website owners to be able to upload their content remotly through FTP, and I also want them to have an email account.

I've read the info on Virtual Hosting, and also on I-Bays--but still dont get it, any help would be apreciated.

If you create an Ibay named "site2" giving it access to the entire internet and enabling "Execution of dynamic content" it will be available at www.andrewscomputerservice.us/site2

for FTP access you'll need to make sure that "FTP user account access" found in the remote access area of the webmanager is set to Public

Thank you for your help jeff.

The way I ended up doing this--incase anyone else wants to know is:

1. Create the user (exp. joe)
2. Create A group for the user (exp. joes_users)
3. Create the I-bay for the users website, setting the group to "joes_users," and then choosing writable by group and readable by everyone. and then "Entire Internet" access. finally enabling exucation of dynamic content.
4. Lastly i created a virtual domain for the website.

This will give the user a e-mail address and public ftp access to their website that is only writable to them, not other users.

Hope this information helps clear up future questions from users, please let me know if what i just explained is not the preffered way of doing things--or if there is a better or more effient way.
