Hey all, I'm pretty new to all of this, and I'd appreciate any help. I've setup one or two people with webspace on my own domain. They're in their own subdomains, and I have a couple of questions regarding their accounts. This is all being done off of my single account, shared account.

1. Is there any kind of freeware statware that I can dig up for people hosted in subdomains?

2. Is there anyway to measure b/w used by individual subdomains, or better yet, is there a simple way to have their downloadable files automatically go to www/theirsubdomain so that it is automatically measured?

3. Is it safe to setup a mySQL DB for use by hosted sites? If so, how do they access their own DB, without touching mine? Can they just install PHPMyadmin into their subdomain and access their site?

1. Not exactly what you were looking for, but many seem to like http://www.webtrendslive.com/personal_default.htm - I don't use it (server stats instead, but you can't install things on the server, so this is something you might like, free too).

2. Not sure what can be installed on a virtual account, per subdomain basis.

3. No, not safe. It would be safe if you were able to set up an addl. mySQL user and then databases under that user, but it is not safe to set up addl. db's under your user name.
