setting up virtual directories and user logins

I'm familiar with the httpd.conf, but very new to setting up virtual
directories for separate qualified domains. If I can get some
suggestions, or pointed to a source to help me out I'd appreciate it.

What I'm wanting to do set up my Web host to host qualified domains:
www.1.com www.2.com etc.
I'd LIKE to keep them all in the default directory /var/www/html/ ,
but, what if we want each separate domain to have its own account that
they can FTP into, and even SSH and not be able to go past their
domain's directory?

We're getting a brand new server, and I want to set it up right. Our
current server we have all the domains and matching user accounts
going to /home/their_domain_name, and the virtual directories pointing
there.

If that IS the best way, then cool. If there's a better way,
though....

Thanks for any advice!!

This have nothing to do with Apache, setup a chrooted environment
for every account.
