that i'd just call a Management (or Accounting) Issue. While a
security issue must be solved (e.g. one customer modifying another
customer's pages etc.) this problem depends on the provider's policy.
If he offers typo3 as an option without additional fee, there's no
problem, right?

What made me think that this is not a problem for you (Steffen) was
that you're mailing from a fu-berlin account. I (implicitely) thought
you want to set up a (Typo3-based) webserver for your department where
all groups, projects, people etc. have a place to present their stuff.
Shell access for all department members and accounting of webspace,
traffic etc. are usually not an issue inside the university.

For me it's OK as long as there's no security issue. We changed our
provider this month to be able to redesign our webpages with Typo3 (we
had no mySql before). Accounting with the new provider is (mainly)
based on harddisk space and traffic, any customer might use Typo3 if
[s]he wants to or not. OTOH they offer no pre-installed ready-to-use
site, you'll have to install Typo3 manually yourself.
