It''s called a wildcard domain and you can easily do it with RoR if you
set up your DNS and Apache right. There are plugins around for
extracting the subdomain, if it isn''t part of the latest Rails version
already. You then use that in your authentication to determine the
account. With Paperclip or attachment_fu, you can handle the uploads
and store them in the structure you have in mind.
