Risks of allowing someone access to your hosting CP
If you give the username and password of your webhosting account to someone so that they can help administrate the site what kind of risks are you taking? Is there any possibility of them getting the credit card number used to purchase the hosting account?

So why are you hosting CP? 
The only thing I can think of is that they can get your admin email and use that to have sensitive things sent to them. There might be good info about you and the credentials used to set up the account in their. They might put all that together to attack you later, and simply forward info out of the account somewhere else. Then erase their tracks.

Re: Risks of allowing someone access to your hosting CP
I was thinking of getting one or two people to get it on building the site with me since the one site that I've yet to outdo has a team of about 10 people working on it. Is that the worse thing they can do by having access to the CP? Thats not too bad at all.
