**What are Hubz?**
2015-05-05 04:38:53 +00:00
Hubz are general-purpose websites built with **Hubzilla**. Every website member can create their own unique website or social space, and these can all share and interact.

Hubz all over the internet "magically" connect together to create very large social networks, websites, and communities; and *these* can all share and interact.

Members of *my* Hubz can easily and securely share stuff with members of *your* Hubz. Anything with anybody. Publicly, or **privately**.

**Hubzilla** is open source and built on PHP/MySQL/Apache (Mariadb or Postgres and Nginx could also be used, we're pretty easy).
