ispconfig-3

I've setup my own VM running Ubuntu 10.04, LAMP and ISPConfig 3. I would also like to add Git, and give access to to closed group of developers working on their own private projects, essentially operating it as a shared hosting production server.

Before I go installing software on the server gung-ho, I would like to know;

a) Is this possible?

b) Is it a good idea? (How else could one achieve a shared but private environment?)

c) Is the installation of Git any different in this situation?
