Create the users home directory as /var/html/www/blabla then add him to the chroot users config file. This should enable him to only work in that directory and subdirectories.

In the vsftpd.conf file just add:

chroot_local_user=YES

And if DNS is already setup, it should already point the blabla.com name to the server running vsftpd.
