Featured Server Information
Featured Server auctions run every two weeks and are open for 72 hours. During this time, you may place a bid on the Featured Servers page. In order for a server to be eligible for a featured slot, it must have an uptime of at least 70%. To bid, simply press the “PLACE A BID” button and enter an amount. By placing a bid, you are committing to paying the amount bid if you are among the top five bidders. Failure to make a payment will permanently ban you from any future auctions.
Once the auction has ended, the top five bidders will receive a notification that they’ve won a featured spot and have 48 hours to pay. Payments can be made with PayPal via the payment links delivered with the winning bid notification, the My Servers section of your profile, or the Featured Servers page.
Servers that are in the 6th or 7th positions at the close of the auction period will be placed in “Standby.” This means that if any of the top five bidders fail to pay, you will be offered a feature slot at your final bid amount. You may decline this spot without penalty. After the payment period has ended, there is a final 24 hour payment reconciliation period. During this period servers in “Standby” will be contacted if any of the top five bidders failed to pay. After payment reconciliation the 5 winning servers will be featured for two weeks.
