This could be one of those areas where I'm not entirely clear on Unix 
philosophy, but I think of /var as being for data of a more transient 
nature, and subject to overwrite on OS upgrade. Also, most distros don't 
give /var much space by default. I consider /home and /usr/local as 
safer places for long-term storage.

I generally put virtual host webroots in /home/domain/http for 
single-site domains, or /home/orgname/domain/http for organizations with 
multiple domains.
