Webserver
You want to be flexible in choosing your web server? No problem. With us you can switch between the open-souce solutions Apache and NGINX at any time, but you can also choose profilers according to your requirements as well as set up Varnish caches and much more around your web server.
Apache
Apache is a proven web server with a wide distribution. Many systems therefore already rely on this server out of the box, for which PHP modules, for example, can also be easily and dynamically reloaded. Due to its structure, the web server consumes a lot of resources during large load peaks.
NGINX
NGINX was developed under performance aspects. The web server is based on an asynchronous architecture, so that the resource consumption remains largely constant during load peaks. NGINX can be extended by modules by compiling them into the system - dynamic loading is not possible.
Profiler
Our interface allows you to connect external profilers and analysis tools with just a few clicks to monitor performance and easily identify bottlenecks.
Blackfire
Blackfire analyzes PHP applications to collect data about time, CPU, I/O wait, memory, network calls, HTTP and SQL requests. This data is clearly visualized in various graphs.
Tideways
Tideways is a tool for profiling, monitoring and tracking in PHP. Take advantage of the strengths of Tideways, which lie, for example, in the targeted analysis of known runtime problems with a very clear representation of the timeline.
New Relic
New Relic APM is a monitoring tool that allows you to continuously monitor the performance of your online store in real time. New Relic locates bottlenecks such as long loading times and sends an automated message to you if desired.
Varnish SSL
The use of a Varnish cache brings you two important advantages, especially in the case of large visitor rushes: It reduces content delivery time while saving resources. Moreover, by using it, you can often do without load balancers or complex infrastructures.
SSH
Do you want to insert SSH keys to enable secure login without a password? Or block unwelcome IP addresses? In our Managed Center you can do this quickly and easily with just a few clicks.
Database & search
To ensure the highest possible speed and quality of search results, powerful search engines and databases must be integrated into your website. Put together your ideal configuration with us at the Managed Center.
MySQL
MySQL is a widely used relational database system. For many CMSs, this system is the technical basis for storing data, because it can process large amounts of data quickly. You can create MySQL in the Managed Center with one click and define users.
The full-text search engine OpenSearch is a fork based on Elasticsearch 7.10. It was initiated by Amazon's AWS and currently has the same range of functions as Elasticsearch. OpenSearch is developed by a large open source community independent of Elasticsearch.
You want a full-text search engine whose scope of services is also relied on by large companies such as Facebook, Netflix, Zalando and also GitHub? Elasticsearch searches articles up to 5 times faster than other search engines, making it a speed-guarantor.
Solr offers you a wide range of search functions and is fault-tolerant and easily scalable. The platform is especially popular for Big Data. Solr not only offers a very detailed functional environment, but also numerous available plug-ins.
Sphinx is a full-text search engine and plays out its advantages especially when implementing your own search engines or web applications for processing large amounts of data. You can either use it to quickly and easily batch index and search stored data, or alternatively index and search the data on the fly, similar to using a database server.
Cache & Queue
No extra charge and already preconfigured:
Redis
Online stores with many visitors generate a large number of shopping carts from which sessions are generated. The sessions can be stored in a Redis database, for example, which can significantly increase the performance of a store. In the Managed Center, a Redis server can be installed, configured and deactivated with just a few clicks. Read more about the performance benefits in our blog series.
RabbitMQ
RabbitMQ is a so-called message broker: code messages sent from one service to another are distributed with its help, so that the messages do not block each other and thus create queues and processes are not executed optimally. If a new user or VHost needs to be created, or access needs to be configured, this can be done quickly and easily in the Managed Center.
Security & backups
To ensure that you can run your online store or blog as securely as possible, we provide you with extensive and in some cases exclusive security features.
Firewall
To protect your application as efficiently as possible against unauthorized access from the outside, you have the option of individually configuring the firewall via port shares.
Protection
You want to block clients or limit a new client? With just a few clicks, this can be implemented in the Managed Center just as quickly as creating an Allowlist.
ShopSecurity
With ShopSecurity you can check your store installations for known and potential security vulnerabilities. Following a scan, you will receive detailed reports with concrete recommendations for action and recommendations for optimizing the security-relevant settings of your store and server.
Backups
For 14 days, we check daily whether your backups of the file system and all databases have been performed successfully. In addition, we check the backups for consistency and manually restore the backup if we detect an error. In case of data loss files and dumps can be restored through our Managed Center.
Developer tools
To support the workflows of developers in the best possible way, we do not only offer a pure web server and PHP. Rather, we provide a specific selection of tools to optimally support you in routine work, deployment and analysis of the web applications hosted with us.
Cluster Control
"Cluster Control" is a so-called command line tool for our clusters. This tool can be built into automated deployment scripts, for example, to simplify configurations across clusters.
local mc (Beta)
Local development environment for maxcluster
With local mc, you can mirror your maxcluster production environment directly on your computer. This allows you to test changes in a realistic environment before rolling them out live.
Your advantages:
- More efficient development processes
- Early error detection
- More stable deployments
- Cost and time savings
local mc is based on DDEV and supports central services such as PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, RabbitMQ, and Varnish.
Application specific command line tools
n98-magerun2
For Magento 2 users, we are providing version n98-magerun2. Its feature set is similar to that of n98-magerun and therefore makes a good complement to Magento’s own bin/magento tool.
sw-cli-tools
Do you have a Shopware shop? We provide the sw-cli-tools, a command-line tool designed to assist you with the installation of Shopware and Shopware plugins.
wp-cli
Für WordPress-Nutzer befindet sich in unserem Stack das Tool wp-cli, mit dem Sie die WordPress-Instanzen über die Kommandozeile verwalten können.
General command line tools
Composer
Composer is a package manager for PHP that can be used to install and update most modern PHP applications, as well as Magento 2 and Shopware.
Lessc
With lessc we offer a less compiler for the command line, with which you can compile less code in CSS.
Bower
For frontend JavaScript libraries we provide Bower, a package manager.
Node/NPM
For modern web applications, frontends and developer tools are increasingly built with NodeJS. To simplify the work with it, we provide NodeJS and NPM.
Grunt
You want to automate processes directly on the cluster. With Grunt we provide a task runner for JavaScript.
Git
The version management tool Git is pre-installed on our clusters, not only for technology enthusiasts.
