Can you give an example of what you are talking about?

For a MLM company most distributors are given a replicated website that they can call their own. The person pays on a monthly basis to use the site fitted with their information.

Are you talking about network marketing type sites? If so, I'm actually going to be starting on one for a client this weekend.

My plan is to just have one copy of the site, but then pull in a memberid variable from the URL that will pull in info specific to that user from the database.

I will also be using an htaccess rewrite to convert a url like this:

http://www.whatever.com/timjpriebe/aboutme

to this:

http://www.whatever.com/aboutme.php?userid=timjpriebe

I have not found any premade scripts that do that sort of thing, though. I'm going to be programming mine from scratch.
