myname.companyname.com
I have a client who has requested a service whereby her distributors can have a personalized web address. Something like lindajames.companyname.com. She about 200-300 distributors with some monthly turnover. Each domain would need access to a standard set of templates to be filled in by the distributor.
Any suggestions of where to look for such a product? I know such systems exist, but have never seen the backend of one.

Anyone know of a turnkey application to manage this?

Well it sounds like you want a CMS with multi-site support. Many of them can do roughly what you want, although I doubt you'll find one that will match your needs exactly.
For what it's worth, here's a link to Drupal, it has template and multi-site support out of the box. You can setup multiple sub-domains with their own settings, using a common theme, with a common set of add-on modules. Then each of the sub-domains could be given their own logo, business/user name in the header.
If Drupal can't do what you want, you can customise it. There are also a large number of community contributed modules that go with it.
