Drupal is an awesome very clean cut content system. I prefer it to many others just for it's basic install layout.

I wish I knew how to write php code. I have an idea and if anyone can do it it probably would be a great asset to the drupal.org community. What if there was a webhosting module? So that users can signup and then have their own directory like http://drupal.org/yourusernamehere ? plus a hosting control panel for the admins to limit the bandwidth or space that could be offered?

First, use the pathauto module. That will make search-engine-friendly URL's including for the user pages.

Second, make sure the admin/settings support is turned on for clean URL's.

Finally there's some stuff to do in the user config. But the user profile will appear as a URL kinda like this:
http://7gen.com/user/david-herron
It's actually tunable in pathauto what the URL ends up being. In any case, whatever fields you turn on in the user profile will show up on that page.

The only thing not supported, that you may be asking for, is for that page to be the root of a whole buncha web pages. The user can have a blog (if you configure the site correctly) though.
