Setup & Care
The hosting we set up and maintain. It stays in your name and you pay your provider directly. Meeting these requirements is what lets your care plan include server maintenance; anywhere else, care covers the application only.
The rule
Building and deploying Shopware is heavy work for a server. Every layout below is arranged so that work never competes with the live shop.
Layouts
Recommended starting specs from our sizing so far. We confirm the size for your store before setup, based on your catalogue, traffic and integrations.
01
Shopware, its database, cache and the deployment tooling share one server. Builds run one at a time with limits on their CPU and memory, and deployments are scheduled outside peak trading hours. For single-brand shops with lower traffic and tighter budgets.
Recommended starting spec
02
One server runs the deployment tooling, the other runs the shop. Builds never touch the live store, the shop keeps running if the tooling fails, and the shop server can be resized on its own. The tooling server can host staging later.
Recommended starting spec
03
A separate database, several application servers behind a load balancer, search on its own server and object storage for media. Specified with you when traffic, catalogue size or availability needs justify it.
Requirements
Elsewhere
We can still help. Setup on anything else is declined or quoted as best effort, and your care plan covers the application — Shopware, plugins and code — not the server underneath.
Tell us where your store runs, or will run. We will tell you whether it qualifies, and what it would take if it does not.
