HILDUS builds software so that communities can own themselves. There is no membership to apply for — each way of taking part has its own channel and its own contact, and there are four.
Run your own page or site
Want to run your own page, blog or site — find a platform close in spirit: shopnseo.ru for commerce and search, qwetru.ru for writers and bloggers — and deal directly with its owner: the subscription and its terms are theirs to set. Building it is a separate question: do it yourself in the panel, or pay one of the studios working with the platform — kb77.ru and others — a one-off fee to install and set it up for you.
Run the platform yourself
The Platform Server tier puts the whole platform on a machine of your own, and it is aimed at organisations building a space of their own — blogs, forums, sites for projects and for people, inside one system they control. Go directly to a hosting company offering the platform as a ready product and set it all up yourself, or have an authorised studio install and configure it for you. Decide which side fits what you are building — commerce (shopnseo.com) or writers and bloggers (qwetru.com). Inside your installation you hand out the tiers below Platform Server to your own people. The advertising is sold by you and the revenue stays with you, whoever hosts the machine; the software is ours, the community and the money are yours. This is the arrangement the foundation exists to make ordinary.
Build on it as a studio
Want to run client projects on the platform — design, development, SEO and more — go to a regional representative: qwetru.ru or shopnseo.ru. That is where contact with the platform's developers happens, and where information about the work flows on to HILDUS from. The site goes on the customer's hosting, the studio charges a one-off fee for installing and setting it up, and the customer then pays for panel access directly to the regional representative. Three studios already do this, each covering one part of the job — design, development, content; see the platform and live sites. The number is not capped, and studios in other languages and markets are welcome: nothing about the platform is tied to one region.
Offer it as a hosting company
If you sell VPS plans and want to offer the platform as a ready product, go directly to HILDUS: the arrangement is a franchise, with a monthly fee to the foundation for each platform installed and a direct line to the platform's developers. Details are on the partner page.
