A: We've taken great care to try and protect our users
from one another. After all, in the online business, some of our
customers may be in competition with each other.
First, all
of your CGI scripts run as your own unix user ID. This allows you to
set extremely secure modes on your scripts such as mode 700, which
means that only you will be able to read, execute and write to your
scripts.
Second, all of our users are the same group member,
which means you can remove all group privaleges from your PHP
scripts and protect them from being viewed or modified by other
users on the system.
Finally, our apache server has built in
resource accounting so that a single user on the system with a
run-a-way CGI or PHP script will not take down the entire server.
