Yup - cpanel is great for this. It allows you/him to quickly set up
other sites, virtualizes the whole thing so that each site looks like it
owns the box, and can even set up a nice chroot'ed ssh environment.
Each site can have unique user e-mail addresses, ftp locations, web
logs, etc. My ISP also runs Fantastico so that I can install my own 3rd
party apps like gallery, phprojekt, etc.
