Magento: Managed Hosting, Installation and Operations
We install, migrate and operate Magento as a production commerce platform - including database, cache, search, deployments, backups, updates, monitoring and security.

About the technology
Operate the shop, search stack and deployments as one system
A Magento shop is more than PHP and a database. Search, cache, queues, media, cron jobs, payment and ERP integrations directly affect performance and availability.
We build new platforms, take over existing Magento environments and structure deployments, updates, backups and monitoring. Shop development, themes, extensions and integrations can be added within the same technical ownership model.
Magento for performant, integrated commerce
Catalogue and checkout
Operate product, customer, basket and order capabilities on a controlled platform.ERP, PIM and payment
Connect business systems, product data, payment providers and shipping processes through defined interfaces.Search and cache
Configure Elasticsearch or OpenSearch, Redis and full-page cache for the selected edition.Deployment process
Publish code, configuration, database changes and static assets reproducibly.Security updates
Maintain core, Composer dependencies and extensions with testing, maintenance windows and rollback.Performance and monitoring
Monitor response times, errors, queues, cron jobs, search, database and checkout.Migration and takeover
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.Identity and secure access
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.Backup and recovery
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.Updates, monitoring and operations
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.
Operations beyond installation
Operate Magento across the complete order path
The web shop, background jobs, search, cache, database and external systems must work together to turn visits into reliable orders.
Commerce platform
Maintain Magento, PHP, proxy and runtimes in a controlled way.Data, search and cache
Operate database, search engine, Redis, queue and media.Business systems
Connect ERP, PIM, payment, shipping and marketing.Shop operations

Area
Ownership of shop technology and commerce processes
Technical platform operations, application code and commercial shop content are explicitly separated.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope and boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure and Magento runtime | WZ-IT | Hosting, configuration, monitoring, backups and technical maintenance. |
| Deployments and updates | WZ-IT | Controlled delivery with maintenance window, tests and rollback. |
| Extensions and theme | Shared | WZ-IT checks technical compatibility; the customer or agency approves business behaviour. |
| ERP, PIM and payment integration | Shared | Interfaces and ownership are defined for each system. |
| Products, prices and legal copy | Customer | Commercial content and legal approval belong to the shop operator. |
| Relaunch and custom development | Optional WZ-IT service | Themes, modules, migration and new processes are delivered separately. |
Hosting & operations
How much does hosting for Magento cost?
We combine the right compute size with ongoing operations, backups, monitoring and a service level appropriate for the criticality of Magento. High availability and recovery targets are designed separately where needed.

As an alternative to managed hosting in the data centre, WZ-IT provides the hardware, configures Magento, and handles hardening, monitoring, updates, backup and technical support. Access can be limited to the internal network or enabled through VPN and existing identities.
View WZ-IT App Node →Sizing and deployment
Size Magento around catalogue, traffic and integrations
Products, variants, search index, concurrent baskets, import jobs, checkout peaks and external interfaces determine the platform.
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small B2B or niche shop | Dedicated application stack | Cache, search and backup remain independently scalable. |
| Growing shop | Separate app, data and search services | Cron jobs, queues and deployments are isolated. |
| High campaign or checkout load | Load assessment | Traffic profile, cache hit rate and external dependencies are tested. |
| Major migration or Adobe Commerce | Commerce assessment | Edition, modules, data, integrations and cutover are inventoried. |
- The calculator covers baseline managed operations for a standardized Magento workload. Edition, code base, extensions, catalogue, traffic, database, search, integrations and migration are added through the shop audit.
Sizing and deployment
Magento operating models
The shop can run on dedicated WZ-IT infrastructure, in your account or on-premise; data paths and load profile decide.
WZ-IT shop infrastructure
Dedicated managed stack with matched database, search and cache.Your cloud
Magento inside your accounts and existing network and security design.On-premise
B2B or internal commerce close to ERP and product data.Hybrid
Connect the shop platform to internal ERP and PIM systems securely.
Target architecture
Decouple storefront, application and business systems
A controlled Magento stack protects the public shop while keeping administrative, data-owning and external systems separate.
Customers and editors
Storefront, checkout, customer account and protected administration.
CDN, WAF and TLS
Public delivery, protection and restricted administration.
Customer and admin roles
Separate identities, MFA and minimum backend permissions.
Magento application
Storefront, APIs, cron jobs, queue, modules and deployment.
Database, search and cache
Persistent commerce data and performant delivery.
ERP, PIM and payment
Defined interfaces, error paths and retries.
Monitoring and recovery
Shop journey, jobs, errors, backups and recovery.
Shop availability also depends on payment, shipping, ERP and PIM services. External dependencies are included in monitoring and incident communication.

Reviews & projects
Client feedback and projects worldwide
WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.

WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.
