But i'm not sure that this is a bad thing. I looked at all the other 30
virtual domains that are hosted on the server and i'm not sure if
there is another person i would trust when it comes to the use of command

And i'm getting really afraid when i think what they would do with a
database that supports stored procedure calls.
