PHPauction Web Hosting
PHPauction Web Hosting
PHPauction as the name suggests is a professional auction software package which offers a complete suite of applications and services for building auction web sites. Phpauction has been started by Gianluca Baldo as a personal project in the year 1997. The first version of Phpauction was written in PHP/FI language (also called PHP2) and was using miniSQL as database back end. It was in October 1999 that the script was migrated to PHP3 and the database engine changed to MySQL. In 2006, Phpauction launched 6 different dynamic transaction engine choices including classifieds, trading, plus modules and specific packs.
Today PHPauction is one of the leading players in web based auction software technology for small/medium companies. It offers turn key auction solutions for all kinds of companies and features an easy to use step by step installer. The web based back-end administration offers complete control over all aspects of the application and also offers a wide variety of options to choose from: Standard auctions, Reverse auctions, Classifieds, Trading software and modules.

Phpauction also requires the ability to set up cron jobs (under *nix systems).
