Using SSH just seems a bit tricky

Most sites I set up use a .php redirect for each sponsor, so if one dicks me around I can just change 1 link and at least the traffic is going somewhere productive.

Same with .404 .. just use a master .php redirect and then you can change it around with ease.

Changing around dozens or hundreds of site's links would drive me mad.
