[corvus.crow]

hi, newbie in this forum. i would like to have a setup like what multiply.com offers.

after registering a username. a subdomain will be created. like user.domain.com. what backend applications are needed? does this lie on a lone server only (bind/apache or lighty/ mysql or pgsql?

You can do this with a scripting language in the background, e.g. PHP or Perl. What you need is a wildcard DNS record for domain.com that points to the server so that you don't have to create a new DNS record for each subdomain.
