Umami Managed Hosting, Installation and Operations
We design and operate Umami as a controlled analytics platform - including PostgreSQL, tracking design, events, roles, backups and clearly defined service levels.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
The following are trademarks of their respective owners: Umami (Umami Software, Inc.). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services.
About the Technology
Web analytics within your own operating architecture
Umami
Umami captures page views, acquisition, device classes and custom events and turns them into dashboards, funnels, journeys, retention and campaign insights. With a self-hosted platform, infrastructure and analytics data remain under your control.
WZ-IT looks beyond the tracking container. We design PostgreSQL, reverse proxy, collection endpoint, roles, retention, monitoring, updates, backups and recovery as one service and connect it to existing websites and applications where required.
Change analytics through a controlled migration, not just a script swap
We inventory websites, domains, existing metrics, events, campaign parameters, dashboards and privacy requirements. This becomes a measurement design, test phase and traceable cutover.
Historical data and metrics cannot be transferred equivalently from every analytics system. We assess available exports and APIs and define in advance what is migrated, kept in parallel or rebuilt.
Operations beyond installation
Operate Umami as an analytics service, not a single tracking script
Reliable web analytics depends on measurement design, data collection and operations. We combine Umami, PostgreSQL, collection endpoints, access, retention and recovery into a documented platform.
Analytics data
PostgreSQL, data growth, retention and exports are included in capacity and privacy planning.
Access and governance
Teams, roles, shared views and integrations follow an agreed access and data model.
Operations and recovery
Monitoring, updates, backups, restore tests and incident processes protect the technical platform.
Who is responsible for what?
We separate technical analytics operations, tracking implementation and business interpretation of metrics.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope and boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture and provisioning | WZ-IT | Umami, PostgreSQL, TLS, reverse proxy, secrets and reproducible deployment. |
| Umami runtime and updates | WZ-IT | Maintenance of the agreed instance with release assessment, backup and controlled updates. |
| Monitoring and backups | WZ-IT | Monitoring and protection of database, configuration and relevant operational data. |
| Measurement and event model | Shared | WZ-IT implements technical collection; the customer defines goals, metrics and business meaning. |
| Privacy and retention | Shared | WZ-IT implements agreed settings; the customer defines the legal basis, notices and retention rules. |
| Interpretation and decisions | Customer | Assessment of metrics, campaigns and user behaviour remains with the responsible business team. |
| Migration and integrations | Optional WZ-IT service | Tracking migration, event implementation, reporting connections and historical data are planned separately. |
Websites and core metrics
Analyse page views, visitors, sessions, referrers, campaigns, countries, browsers and device classes across multiple websites.
Custom events and goals
Model clicks, forms, downloads and application steps as events and include them as traceable goals in the measurement design.
Funnels, journeys and retention
Analyse usage paths, drop-offs, return behaviour and cohorts without leaving the business interpretation of metrics to the tool.
Dashboards and teams
Organise websites and reports in teams, distribute role-based access and share selected views in a controlled way.
API and integrations
Connect analytics data and events to applications, reports or automations through the REST API and document the resulting data flows.
Privacy-oriented operations
Configure cookieless tracking and self-controlled data storage properly. Legal assessment still depends on the specific implementation and context.

How much does hosting for Umami cost?
One managed standard Umami application is included in the Starter workload. Business and higher levels add a flexible operations allowance for planned work during regular service hours. Select compute, additional applications, storage and the appropriate service level.
Workloads
A workload is one compute instance with the applications agreed for it.
Additional standard applications
One standard app per workload is already included. Additional dedicated servers count as separate workloads.
Additional block storage
€7.99 excl. VAT per additional 100 GB per month, including daily encrypted offsite backup with 7-day retention. Billing is based on provisioned capacity, not actual usage.

Custom backup retention
We also implement custom backup schedules and retention periods. For example: daily backups retained for 30 days and one monthly backup retained for 12 months. Scope, storage requirements and additional costs are agreed separately.
Availability configuration
+€299 excluding VAT per workload and month
Standard hosting runs on a single instance without high availability. Availability for custom architectures is agreed separately.
Zero downtime on request
Distributed operation with several instances, a database cluster and rolling updates, so that a node failure causes no interruption. Only for applications suited to it; design and price after technical assessment.

Sizing and deployment
Size Umami by traffic, event volume and reporting workload
Website count alone is insufficient. Page views, custom events, retention, concurrent dashboards and complex insights determine compute, PostgreSQL and storage.
Starting-point guidance
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| One or a few websites with moderate traffic | S or M, PostgreSQL | A sensible starting point for moderate event volume and standard reports. |
| Several websites with regularly used dashboards | M or L, PostgreSQL | Traffic peaks, retention, teams and report usage are assessed in advance. |
| Product analytics with many custom events and insights | L or custom sizing | Event cardinality, funnels, journeys and retention can materially affect database and query load. |
| Business-critical analytics with specific recovery objectives | Custom architecture | Database, replication, backup, monitoring and recovery are designed against explicit RPO/RTO targets. |
Measurement design, custom event implementation and migration of historical analytics data are project services and are not included in the generic workload price.
Run Umami where websites and data governance require it
The standard price describes one managed workload. Very high event volume, special availability objectives and custom data pipelines are added transparently.
Managed hosting in Germany

Collection and secure access
TLS, collection endpoint, reverse proxy, firewall rules and optional private administrative access.
Teams and permissions
Administrators, teams, website assignments, shared views and technical API access.
Umami platform
Web analytics, events, goals, funnels, journeys, retention, campaigns and reports.
PostgreSQL
Sessions, page views, events, configuration and reporting data with planned retention.
Operating services
Monitoring, logs, updates, backups and tested recovery.
API and data flows
Controlled connections to websites, applications, reporting and automation.
Before production launch, we document collected data, events, retention, roles, backup scope and recovery of the complete platform.
Questions about Umami managed hosting
Answers about licensing, privacy, migration, PostgreSQL and operations.
Yes. The official Umami repository is released under the MIT licence. WZ-IT is an independent provider of installation, integration and operations; Umami Cloud is a separate vendor offering.
Umami's standard tracking operates without cookies and without cross-site tracking. Whether a specific setup requires consent or notice still depends on configuration, additional events, connected data and applicable law and should be assessed legally.
Yes, as a controlled migration project. We compare metrics and event models, implement the new tracking and validate it in parallel. Depending on exports and APIs, historical data cannot always be transferred fully or equivalently.
Current Umami documentation specifies PostgreSQL. We size the database, connections, storage, maintenance and backup according to event volume and retention.
We assess release notes and database migrations, create a consistent backup, test higher-risk changes in advance and perform the update during the agreed maintenance window with a rollback plan.
The PostgreSQL database contains the core analytics data. We also protect relevant configuration and secrets for the agreed setup and test recovery instead of monitoring only the backup job.
Yes. Websites can be managed separately and assigned to teams. Roles, shared views and API access are aligned with the desired governance model before rollout.
On-premises option
Run Umami on hardware at your organisation
As an alternative to managed hosting in the data centre, WZ-IT provides the hardware, configures Umami, and handles hardening, monitoring, updates, backup and technical support. Access can be limited to the internal network or enabled through VPN and existing identities.

Reviews
Selected customers and projects in Germany and internationally
GermanyNetworking & ProvisioningVPNAutomationOperations
“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.”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”
