Every control panel system has a way of adding custom configurations to certain accounts. For plesk, that would be by creating a new file in the /var/www/vhosts/ domain.com/conf/ directory named vhost.conf. You can add extra directives there or override existing ones. After configuring the file, you can just do "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -- reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.com" A simple google search brings up the following for cpanel (http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/customdirectives.html ): Like the main portion of httpd.conf, the VirtualHost containers also provide the ability to add customizations using Include files. At this time there is no graphical interface for creating and managing VirtualHost includes, so they must be manipulated manually. The include directory structure is not created automatically, but uses the following file structure: • Individual VirtualHost /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/(ssl|std)/(1|2) /<user>/<domain>/<something>.conf cPanel/WHM and Plesk are tools to make it easier on your end-user to manage their accounts. You as a server admin however should know everything about it: where it puts it files, which built-in services it uses and how it uses them, ... Frankly, if you order cPanel or Plesk because you don't have a clue on how to configure a server yourself, you're better off looking for a managed dedicated server hosting and let those people handle it for you instead.
