Those are not the same thing. http://example.com/~joe/ and http://example.com/~jane/ are *not* two web sites. They are two web spaces. And Joe and Jane are tenants of the http://example.com/ site. Yes, the content of those two web spaces are probably owned/managed independently from the rest of the web site, but they are still part of that web site, and the rights of those tenants of http://example.com are dictated by the owner of the site. But you are quite correct that a given server can host multiple sites, and I will restrict myself in the future to speaking of sites, rather than servers. Regards, Patrick
