Take a look at http://www.atdot.org/ to see what you're in for. Unless your
user has tons of space, he won't have room for many accounts. This is the
type of thing a server owner/operator usually runs, not a hosting client.
As far as running the script on a different server, I don't think that's
easily set up because of permissions. It might be a security problem.
