Such shared web servers do exist, and are actually quite common for 
low-cost hosting (i.e. pythonmac.org is sitting on one of these right now 
- dreamhost.com).

However, they setuid first so that they are not a security hole waiting to 
happen.  This is done with Apache using the suEXEC module <http://
httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html>.

Petitioning the ISP to go through the trouble of auditing and installing 
some package for all users doesn't do you much good if you're trying to 
get something up and running that day.
