I was told some time back that there was a limit of 250 but this could be
overcome quite easily with a single file alteration, but this could be over
written during .pkg updates of some types, so have steered clear of it for
the time being.

This would be ideal to be able to conduct this type of sub account from a
main virtual site and is something that I am really keen to employ within my
server.

Thanks for the info steve, if anyone can say authoritavely about this 250
site limit it would be very much appreciated as I dont want to get the
server up to this level and find something goes horribly wrong which affects
my live domain names on the server.

Sub Accounts from main accounts is definately a good idea for me, so I would
love to follow this route.

All the best,

Ian
