suphp more info

Advantages of suphp
1) suphp allows php files to run as the cpanel user instead of apache user ( nobody ),  as such tracking malicious scripts or spammer becomes easier
2) The highest level of permission allowed for folder is 755 and file is 755 or 644  .  666 or 777 permission is not allowed to run and the sites with files having 666 or 777 permissions will show internal server error.   This is more secure that non suphp setup,  where some files or folders like tmp or cache folders require 777 permissions for some softwares to function
3)  Even if a site is hacked,  suphp  prevents the attacker from accessing anything outsite of the sites home directory, as such, it is more secure and a must for shared web hosting server
