We have been working with maxcluster for 4 years. The support is excellent, the competence unbeatable, the response to support requests very fast and detailed. We were previously with the “big players”. Here, in contrast to maxcluster, you are not taken seriously as a customer. There is nothing I would improve. Thank you and keep up the good work.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about our Shopware hosting
Shopware Hosting at maxcluster means that your Shopware 5 and Shopware 6 shops are operated in a cluster environment optimized for e-commerce. The platform is designed for high loads and ensures stable and fast processes – even with many simultaneous visitors.
With our managed hosting, we relieve your team of routine technical tasks. maxcluster takes care of security updates for the operating system and the services we provide, regular data backups, and technical monitoring. Updates and security measures for your Shopware installation—including core, plugins, and themes—remain your responsibility or that of your agency.
The web server, database, and caching are tailored to Shopware and can be customized in the Managed Center. This gives you a specialized environment without having to delve deeply into system administration yourself.
Shopware 6 hosting at maxcluster is suitable for shops that regularly process orders and rely on predictable performance – for example, during campaigns, seasonal promotions, or when visitor numbers increase. Language- and country-specific shops also benefit from a clearly dimensioned infrastructure.
A switch is worthwhile as soon as classic web hosting offers reach their limits, for example because of long response times, unstable runtimes, or a lack of options for caching and scaling. Structured planning is crucial, especially for older Shopware installations. In our article on switching from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6, we show which technical and strategic aspects should be considered.
With maxcluster, you get defined resources, a hosting environment optimized for Shopware, and direct access to technical support with Shopware experience. This creates reliability for ongoing operations and future growth.
For short loading times, we combine optimized web servers (Apache or NGINX) with caching solutions such as Varnish and Redis. Search and filter functions can be outsourced via services such as Elasticsearch, reducing the load on the database and improving the shop's response time — even during periods of increased traffic.
At the same time, maxcluster monitors your environment around the clock using technical metrics such as CPU utilization, memory consumption, response times, and error rates. Any anomalies are detected early on, allowing potential causes of performance bottlenecks or technical malfunctions to be quickly narrowed down. This enables targeted measures to be taken before malfunctions have a noticeable impact on ongoing operations.
Your shop is operated in a data center in Frankfurt am Main that is TÜV-tested and certified according to ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and ISAE 3402, among others. These standards define clear requirements for handling confidential information, payment data, and access, and support you in implementing legal requirements in e-commerce.
In addition, maxcluster relies on network segmentation, firewalls, encrypted transmission paths, and regular security updates. Daily backups with defined retention periods allow you to revert to an earlier data state if necessary. This provides you with an infrastructure that is designed for both protection and recoverability.
The first step is to take stock of your current environment: Shopware version, database size, extensions used, interfaces, and time-controlled processes such as cron jobs. Based on this, maxcluster sets up the new hosting environment and configures the web server, database, caching components, and certificates.
This is followed by a test migration of your shop. Files and databases are transferred, and you can take your time to check all the key functions in the new environment. Once the test has been successfully completed, we plan the final switchover with you, including DNS adjustment. This allows the transition to be structured and downtime to be kept to a minimum.
We have described in detail how the hosting switchover at maxcluster works and which points are particularly important in the planning process in our article on switching hosting providers.
maxcluster has been running e-commerce projects of various sizes for many years and hosts many Shopware installations. As a Shopware Recommended Hosting Partner, we provide environments tailored to the requirements of Shopware 5 and 6 – from individual shops to complex setups with multiple instances.
In everyday life, you benefit from consistently available support. Our administrators and Shopware experts are available by phone 24/7/365 and can help you classify technical issues, clarify infrastructure questions, or evaluate acute malfunctions. We provide information on possible causes and recommend appropriate next steps.
You will always speak directly to experts who are familiar with your hosting environment and can provide informed assessments based on this knowledge.
If you would like to clarify which resources and setup are appropriate for your Shopware shop, we will assist you in selecting a suitable hosting configuration.
