This last bit is key for most every host around -- automated systems are
very much the norm. Not all hosts have the flexibility to do things that
are outside what their web interfaces can handle. And this isn't always
an issue of ignorance -- it can be quite a management issue to track
each individual change and it's impact on the server, etc.
