Auction Hosting: A Fully Hosted Auction Website
Easy.Auction, continued as Auctify
4,000+ customers across Easy.Auction and Auctify
A hosted auction website is an auction site where the provider runs the software for you, and Easy.Auction is a hosted, no-code service of this kind from Auctify B.V. in Enschede, the Netherlands. There is no software to install: pages, email templates and more than 150 settings are managed from the admin without technical skills. Reporting and a maintenance mode are built into that same admin. New hosted auction sites are no longer opened on Easy.Auction; they start on its successor Auctify, which offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Easy.Auction packages cost 99 to 299 USD a month and are no longer sold; its successor Auctify has plans from $49 a month, with zero commission.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to install auction software on my own server?
No. Easy.Auction is a hosted auction site builder, so there is no auction software to install on a server of your own. You run the site from its admin panel, with content management that needs no technical skills, unlimited pages and configurable email templates.
Can I close my hosted auction site temporarily between sales?
Yes. Easy.Auction includes a maintenance mode, which can be switched on from the admin while you prepare categories, listings and pages for the next sale. Switch it off again when the new auctions are ready to open to bidders.
Can I still order a new hosted auction site from Easy.Auction?
No. Easy.Auction stays online for existing customers but does not accept new subscriptions. New hosted auction sites start on Auctify, which is run by the same team with the same 0%-commission model and offers a 7-day free trial without a credit card.
