For the most part [*], they just let you all share one big name-based-vhosting
server. And if one of you runs a cgi that lets people do Bad Things, so be it.
If you're trying to run anything even vaguely sensitive, don't do it on a
shared server. If the other users are incompetent, external bad guys will
get your data. If the other users *are* competent, *they* might get it.
