Dear all, I would like your advice.
Basically my problem is:
I am currently doing the development on my hosted solution on plesk installed in windows server. I don't know which option is suitable for me.
Example: I want to host shopping cart for others
http://stores.abc.com/amystore
http://stores.abc.com/susansuperstore
http://stores.abc.com/andygallery
1. Should I go for SF (subdomain on subfolder) or VR (physical hosting) to create the http://stores.abc.com ?
There's some issue like user may want to be access their folder by ftp in order to bulk upload product images etc.
2. Another issue is to control the bandwidth of spam usage, since the subfolder like amystore, susansuperstore, andygallery is created manually using script, and it's not really tied to plesk subdomain root folder.
3. Also, I found that using plesk is buggy... That day I go to create a VR physical hosting subdomain, then going to delete it off successfully, then I go to create again with the same name by choosing SF(subdomain on subfolder), creation fail.
4. Another issue is permission issue.
If I make the vhost/abc.com/httpdocs folder writable by IUSR_servername, then I can execute php script to create folder under httpdocs, but will it open to security risk?
Currently, do such script exist? Script that put inside the httpdocs, and when run in browser, it can delete the upper folder like httpdocs, and vhosts?
How to strengthen the server security?
5. Subfolder creation. (not subdomain)
Is that any folder able to assigned ftp access to any subfolder that we want by using plesk api?
If anyone know the solution, please help out. I'm having headache using plesk...
