And here's another. :-)

What about your home directory path?

Newbie question -

What do you guys recommend? I was just wondering which way is preffered by ISP's or people who host many websites?

TIA

Well something short is nice and easy to remember, but since it has no effect on functionality, I don't care.

It's not something of a big deal. But having a short path is nice because writing it in the scripts would be easier.

And btw, I can't think of ways to make the Plesk/Cobalt system secure with Unix user-group-other permission scheme. If I have an account at a Plesk/Cobalt-managed server, I *can* grab all the other account's CGI/PHP/etc source code.

With the simple system of /home/USERNAME, I can restrict other users from accessing USERNAME's files, but they can still steal files using mod_php.

The more secure system is giving each user its own private PHP engine, and this will be possible with PHP 4.0.5. I am working on a server management system and will be providing this private PHP for security.
