An important poll for those with multiple domains on a server

sarettah · 02-27-2008

Yes, I have probably posted this on multiple boards by now but that is because I need a wide cross population to work with.

I have what may seem like a stupid question but is actually quite important for me because of a large project I am working on.

If you have multiple domains on a server how do you have your ftp set up.

1. A single FTP account for your user on the server which allows you to access alll my domains from one login.

2. An FTP account per domain, so that for each domain is a separate FTP login.

The reason I am asking is because I am working with a new host. I am accustomed to having one ftp account and being able to login and get to any of my domains. The new company is telling me that "because I will be using a control panel, they have to have each domain have it's own ftp login." I have never heard something like that before.

I am not saying they are bullshitting me iin any way but I am wondering how common this is.

I am working on a big project and part of it uses ftp quite extensively and I had only planned on having to handle a single ftp user getting to multiple domains through one account. I need to know whether I have to handle the one domain per ftp account scenario in the program or whether that is such a small population that I don't need to worry about it.

Thanx in advance for your input.
