It is generally recommended to use VirtualHostMonster instead, although this
is not for performance resons, but because a wrongly configured SiteRoot
prevents you from managing the site unless you manually disable the
SiteRoot.

Well, this shouldn't happen, so it's probably incorrectly configured.
However, VirtualHostMonster is still better.
