Here's how it works on my RaQ2:

Joe's space is at /home/sites/siteX/users/joe
His URL is www.mydomain.com/~joe
This resolves to /home/sites/siteX/users/joe

Jim's space is at /home/sites/siteX/users/jim
His URL is www.mydomain.com/~jim
This resolves to /home/sites/siteX/users/jim

Meanwhile, Joe ALSO is site-admin for
/home/sites/siteX/
including home/sites/siteX/web     etcetera
home/sites/siteX/web is where www.mydomain.com resolves

When you set up users "joe" and "jim", you have an opportunity to determine
how much space to give each.
