The script also needs to write accross your domains to manage all your sites.
If you don't have a server that has partitioned accounts into "virtual private servers" then you can't do that and will have to install each new domain by hand.

If you think setting your domain folder to 777 is a security risk then you need to get the fuck off that box.
