Well, it's a big deal if you've no "in" with the place you're webhosting
with, sure... No one wants to be told that some lowly customer wants to
restart the server that's running 200 other vhosts...

Granted, I work at the damn webhost, but it's gotten to the point where all
the gizmo's and crap I've added have slowly been dipping the "stop touching
the server, you feature freak" - I'd rather not stress the relationship.
