The URL you posted above is an http URL, not ftp. It's entirely normal
for a hosted website to be read by many users via http, but written by
one person - the owner - using ftp. I moved my site recently to Netcup
gmbh, who were offering a very low cost service, and I use FTPc to put
my files on it.
AFAIK, all web hosting works this way.
It looks so simple to me that I must have misunderstood your needs?
