Hi, What I’m looking to achieve is simple.I want to replicate what shared web hosting servers are doing. So: I want to create users (based on domain names); Each user has an FTP account (locked to its home directory); Each user has a public_html (or whatever else) folder (to be rendered by nginx); Is this possible?

Yeah it is possible. Personally I would go with CentOS but if you want to go with Ubuntu I suggest you to use zpanel.
