Can I own an infohub or welcome area?

Is this possible? I know most infohubs are Linden-owned lands, but I've seen some that apparently are owned by residents (non-Linden). Can one make a land into an infohub?

It is possible:They are called Community Gateways.
We have the BeNeLux CG on one of our sims.

and if you don't fit into the criteria, you can always start by 'managing an in-world community that welcomes new Residents and offers events on a weekly basis'.

But an official recognized welcome area, is only possible through community accpetance from LL, through their programme (as discribed above)...

That makes it possible that newcomers (first login) will land there (if they signed up through that community programme (or through the choice of a community during av setup on the main sl site).

if they don't select a particular community, they will land on Help island (non public) or Orientation island (non public).
