Is anyone aware of anyone using Drupal as a hosting system.<br>
<br>
My goal is to allow users (probably through OG + Domain Access +<br>
Domain Access Advanced + ubercart) to purchase a hosting plan and<br>
automatically have a domain set up for them.<br>
<br>
My users are all in the same industry so the type of nodes they will<br>
need to create can be boiled down to a simple 3-4 types.<br>
<br>
Basically I want them to be able to:<br>
<br>
1. Be assigned a template domain/site with some default pages with<br>
some lorem ipsum text (should be easy to accomplish using rules)<br>
<br>
2. Be able to switch themes on their domain only (I'm not sure how to do this)<br>
<br>
3. It'd be totally awesome if they could modify there themes by<br>
dragging and dropping blocks to change the layout of their particular<br>
site (again no idea how to do this)<br>
<br>
4. Grant other users the ability to edit their site (I'm not sure how<br>
to do this without exposing my entire user list to them....)<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
