Well, if you wanted it to be www.accountname.com you'd have to setup
separate hosting and domain registration each time. That's not a very viable
method. As far as making them get a subdomain, so accountname.example.com,
you'd have to make sure your host allows sub domains, as well as finding any
additional cost. Also, I don't know of a way you could make this automated
using PhP at all - Generally, you'd have to go into your Hosting Control
Panel and manually setup sub domains. This doesn't sound like anything that
PhP can resolve for you.
