Folks:

When building and running an internet web server (actually *on* the
internet) which hosts various sites (shared hosting), is it usual
practice for the hosting company to set up individual unix/linux users
for each site? That is, if there are sites alfa.org and bravo.com on
this server, and if alfa.org's ftp user is john and bravo.com's ftp user
is sam, then would you actually create users (adduser/useradd) for john
and sam on that machine?
