You can create any files and directories in your /www/ directory. If you want to provide a web site just under your domain name, e.g. http://testing.me.uk/ then there are some restrictions on directories you can use - you cannot use bin, etc., lib, tmp, or usr. These are also unavailable as sub domains (e.g. you cannot have http://bin.testing.me.uk/. See below for redirection if you want http://testing.me.uk/ to redirect to http://www.testing.me.uk/
 
These restrictions are because the system creates a fake root environment for your scripts to use. This is set up automatically the first time you use ftp to access the site. Note that this is not set up by access using rsync. You should always log in using ftp at least once to create the directories otherwise rsync will not work.
