You need to put the users html in the users public_html directory, and then
point your browser
to www.one.powersurfr.com/~user/
Both the ~ and the trailing slash is important.
Detailed:
You create a new user, named marvin.
His home is /home/marvin
mkdir /home/marvin/public_html
*MAKE SURE* that public_html is world_readable! (The web server by default
runs as user nobody, and user nobody needs to be able to read that
directory.)
Point your browser to http://localhost/~marvin/ to get marvins stuff..
Later,
