Boost Auction

What the winner gets _{(for the full week)}
For the entire reign — about one week, until the next auction settles — the winning server is featured everywhere across the website:

• #1 spot on the Servers list — pinned above every other boost on the /servers page, with a gold “Auction Winner” ribbon.
• Homepage boost bar — a highlighted gold card in the boosted-servers bar at the top of the home page.
• Top Servers sidebar — pinned at the top of the popular-servers panel shown on the plugins, add-ons and tutorials pages.
• Community & hosting pages — a winner card pinned in their sidebars.
• Related server pages — featured in the “similar servers” panel on individual server pages.

In short: one week of maximum, site-wide exposure to everyone browsing the website — the highest-visibility placement we offer.

How it works

Open, cumulative bidding
Anyone can bid on any tracked server, as many times as they like. Bids are in Boost Points, in whole thousands. When you raise your own leading bid the amounts stack — the new bid is added on top of your current one.

7-day period
Every auction runs for at least 7 full days and closes at 23:59:59 UTC on its last day. The next one opens automatically the moment the previous one ends — there is no waiting for a particular day of the week. You can follow the highest bid live on the auction page. An anti-snipe rule pushes the close out by a short window whenever a bid lands in the final moments (and again for each further last-moment bid), so no one can win on a last-second bid.

Determining the winner
When the auction closes, the highest bid wins. The winning server takes the first-place slot immediately and holds it for the week, until the next auction settles.

Escrow & instant refunds
Your bid is held (escrowed) the moment you place it. The instant someone outbids you, your held points are refunded automatically — you never wait until the auction ends. Only the final winner is charged; every other bidder is refunded in full.
