Hosting another person: bad idea?

    Hi everyone,

    I have a shared hosting account and my friend needs a host. I'm not sure whether I should offer to share part of my account with her. (by creating a subdomain and ftp account for him most likely)

    It's not that I don't trust my friend, but I want to limit her access to only her website files. Could someone still do something harmful with this kind of access? Like write a script that erases all the files in the parent directory?

    I wouldn't do it. hosting is cheap, let them get their own.
