File Upload Service ideas?

So i'm making a file uploader service for a friend and I just want to run some questions with you guys.

User urls. I want them to work like once a user registers their username becomes like a sub domain and anything they do gets connected to that

Code:
dregond.domain.com/My5bF.png

could be processed as

Code:
domain.com/dregond/My5bF.png

I'm not sure if and how that will work tho.


Also, i know there are several ways of handling files. Would it be better for members and guests to upload files and save them with their original file name, or rename it to a random string ?


Premium members who pay a monthly fee and such gets added features like

- Sub-Folders
- Increased upload file size
- Zip downloads of all their files as backup

So obviously ill need an ACL system, but how would I handle sub-folders?

Two ideas are there, one is that everyone's files are stored in one folder and the DB display as needed, and another is to actually make folder but still have a DB to monitor them.

I'm starting coding the system now. So just going thru some ideas before i begin work. =]
Any added features you would like to see is appreciated =]
