    Well you're certainly biting off more than most people could chew. You not
    only are new to FreeBSD but also to ftp and http. Hopefully you have some
    substantial Unix experience. If not, then you need to stop now and find a
    knowledgeable friend.

    You need to read the Apache config docs and learn how to create virtual
    domains on a web server. You need to learn how to set up a server securely.
    Who's going to handle dns for this(these) domain(s)? If you're really going
    to run an IRC server, you need to be even *more* knowledgeable.

    You have a lot of work ahead of you, and a lot of heatache if you don't do
    it right.
