For example, if user bob wants www.bob.com, the section in httpd.conf for www.bob.com will look like this.. <VirtualHost www.bob.com> ServerAdmin bob@bob.com DocumentRoot /usr/home/bob/public_html-www.bob.com ServerName www.bob.com ErrorLog /usr/weblogs/www.bob.com-error_log TransferLog /usr/weblogs/www.bob.com-access_log ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/bob/public_html-www.bob.com/cgi-bin/ </VirtualHost> Notice the DocumentRoot. That puts all of bob's web pages in public_html-www.bob.com in his home directory. If bob wanted to add a second domain, I'd set up another vhost in httpd.conf and point it to public_html-www.bob2.com in his home directory, etc. I also have the log files for bob from /usr/weblogs symlinked to a logs directory in his home directory so he can access them. Each user logs in via ftp with their own username and password and has access to only their home directory.
