I've seen this done a few different ways. You give them each their own group, which is the same as their username. Then the perms on the directory are 755 or 775 and the ownership is luser:luser. I've also seen people keep everyone in the same group (virt, web, users, whatever) and set the perms as 705 so that the other users can't read anything in the web directories. This protects any code that's being developed from prying eyes, but lets world (anyone not logged in) see the pages via the web.
