Due to the lack of characters my initial question probably doesn't cover the whole question i am asking.
Basically i am considering purchasing my own hosting package and with the package i am considering i can have up to 20 subdomains. If i was to let other people use a subdomain would they be able to have their own log in details or would all hosting, and editting and such, for that subdomain still be done on (or thro) the main domain?
Sorry for the lack of technical jargon here- i'm pretty useless at tech stuff so please answer in the same manner =D

It all depends on how your hosting company sets things up. You are really at their mercy if you don't have your own hardware to host things on. I would guess that you would only get one set of credentials (login and password) for the whole ball of wax.

Well it sounds like you need a retailing hosting package which allows you to host multiple domains to me.
A sub domain is simply a secondary domain name.
my.yahoo.com is a subdomain of yahoo.com.
In most cases the system does not provide seperate log files although you can set those up if you have the proper premissions on the server to do so.
Generally if you setup a sub domain you can also setup an ftp user for that area so they could have "login" for content entry etc provided the server is configured to do that. However they will not have email for that "sub" domain only for the main domain. yourname@mydomain.com not yourname@sub.mydomain.com
Hope that helps.
