Interested in setting up a service exactly like wordpress.com, bloggers would sign up and receive a free blog on a sub domain.
I am looking at automating the solution and just gather some research.
We have allocated an appropriate budget.
Any suggestions?
I'm not sure what you mean by "automating" it, but you can check out a few things:
WordPress MU - This is what WordPress.com is built on, and you can set up your own self-hosted installation. Be aware, installation and setup are not as...beginner friendly...as regular WordPress.org.
Blogs.mu - This is a managed multiblog solution built on WordPress MU. I wrote up a short review of the free and paid features. Keep in mind the review is from the perspective of someone who runs a WordPress site, so while someone who's never used WordPress might be wowed by Blogs.mu, I was relatively underwhelmed with the free features, and would feel held back by the restrictions even on the paid features. But it could be just what you need.
