If you have suPHP enabled for the website, then this will do two things:

a.) User Owned Webs will be disabled
b.) FTP access for anyone who is not a siteAdmin will be disabled.

The reason here is that when suPHP is enabled, PHP functionality for
user owned webs simply does not work due to OpenBasedir restrictions.

Other than that: If suPHP is disabled and/or you use "normal" PHP, then
both "User Owned Webs" and "FTP access for non-siteAdmins" can be turned
on or off separately.
