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.
