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?
