Centuria has cross-cutting experience in IT, so that we do not have to use the same solutions over and over again. The technical specification is not a challenge for us. We supply the most efficient equipment on the market. We aim to ensure business continuity for the entire business, not just to provide a cloud service, dedicated hosting or IT infrastructure implementation for Magento.
Focused on delivering the best shopping experience within your Magento shop, we apply a range of advanced optimisation techniques. Our Magento hosting is precisely tailored to the specifications of this e-commerce platform, resulting in a significant improvement in page loading speed and overall site performance. We optimise all critical elements, from server configuration to database management and frontend performance.

Our experience in working with a variety of different Magento projects allows us to tailor the infrastructure precisely – from choosing between dedicated servers to flexible cloud solutions. Whichever option you choose, our infrastructure is designed with scalability in mind. This means that we can quickly adapt resources (such as CPU, RAM, disk space) to the growing needs of your Magento shop. These changes can be made without major downtime or disruption to the store. It is even easier with cloud solutions.
Technical support for Magento hosting is available 24/7, 365 days a year. This is a key element in ensuring the business continuity and security of your online store.

Professional Magento hosting support includes both monitoring of server performance and rapid response to potential incidents. This ensures that you can rest assured that any technical problem will be resolved regardless of the time of day or night. The emergency response will also be unaffected by your holiday, which is essential for maintaining high shop availability and performance.
E-commerce means carrying out multiple commercial transactions in a web-based IT system. The area of IT security is key to ensuring the stability and security of a company’s business. Threat protection addresses various areas.The key, however, is to consider two main directions: protection against targeted attacks (DoS, DDoS, data leaks) and against accidental events (data loss, failures).Our approach to security includes:
We combine the cost effectiveness and efficiency of dedicated hosting with the flexibility and scalability of public cloud services, offering:
The technology stack is tailored to the needs of the project. The Magento framework, web server and database form the core. We add content serving accelerators, cache, task queuing systems, full-text search, monitoring, metrics collection, notifications, backups. We round it off with CI/CD tools to facilitate start-up and development, thus achieving a complete technology stack best suited to the needs of the project.
This service has the lowest cost of ownership compared to the value delivered. It allows stable and fast operation of an e-commerce site at both the level of 1 million (~100 transactions per day) and more than 2 billion annual turnover (~200,000 transactions per day).

Is Magento hosting cloud-based?
It depends. We usually provide the Magento hosting service on dedicated servers, (i.e. entire servers dedicated to the needs of a single client).
We provide smaller Magento hosting services using Centuria’s in-house IaaS cloud. The service is then not 100% separated. Weensurehighlevel of separationso that one client does not trigger the failure of another. In doing so, we offer very low cost of servers, high scalability and availability of the solution.
It is worth noting that the understanding of the term “cloud” is very important. On the market we can find, for example, Bare Metal Cloud services, which from the client’s point of view are practically the same as dedicated servers. Let us remember that cloud is only a name, and the computing units (servers, processors, RAM, disks) are the same in cloud and dedicated hosting.
Why should I host Magento on a server rather than in the cloud?
Centuria’s task is to consult and design the best possible infrastructure. There are many solutions on the market and each has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Cloud has its own strengths, you can read about them here . The dedicated server, which is the basis for Magento maintenance, is dedicated to one client only, while remaining completely separate from other clients. For this reason, it provides greater stability and performance, while offering a much lower cost, as it does not need an additional cloud software layer (purchased externally or developed internally by the provider – along with support for it). Deploying a dedicated server also has other additional advantages – shorter Time To Market, much simpler implementation (less risk of mistakes) and lower cost (through less work).
Where will my data be stored?
We provide dedicated hosting services in three data centres in Europe:
We have full control over where your data is. Centuria’s headquarters are located at ul. Sarmacka 11 in Poznań. We also provide some services based on the public cloud, in which case the location of the data is determined according to the needs of the specific project. In this case, a declaration from the Cloud provider is required.
If the server room is destroyed (e.g. burned down), will I still have access to the data?
Yes, you will have access to your data. All projects at Centuria have a backup policy in place and this determines data ownership.
We recommend and offer multi-level backup options to all clients, including live copies across multiple data centres. Choosing the extent to which the client wants to implement security measures is left up to the client’s business decisions. Technically, we are able to provide resilience to the failure of 2 or more independent data centres.
What options do I have for scaling?
Virtually unlimited!
However, this does not mean that everything will happen “on its own” and you can forget about the growth problem forever. Such a scenario is promised by many companies, but experience shows that there are no magic solutions. In terms of technical feasibility: an auto-scaling and scheduled scaling solution can be implemented. But it is not autoscaling that determines whether your service will serve all users.
Experience and organisational capacity are the most important. The implemented business processes determine where the problem will occur when scaling, so we need to regularly analyze where the bottleneck could potentially be. Centuria monitors all services, collects this information, and receives notifications in case of overload. Combining this with our experience in maintaining the largest e-commerce sites, we help to scale the entire IT solution so that not only the e-commerce site works, but the entire sales process runs.
How much does good web hosting cost?
The cost of good hosting for Magento shops is variable and depends on a number of factors, such as the size of your stock, the scale of your business, as well as your support and administration services. In our offer, prices for monthly maintenance start at around PLN 1500-2000. This is the result of not only providing server space, but above all offering a comprehensive system solution that ensures the continuity of the service.
As part of our offer, we provide professional administration, 24/7 monitoring of service performance by the service desk and a rapid response to any failures.
What is the difference between a server and hosting?
Although the terms ‘server’ and ‘hosting’ are often used interchangeably, they refer to two different aspects of web services. A server is physical or virtual computer hardware that stores data and provides resources, such as websites, applications or files, to users on a network. It can be seen as the heart of the system, which is responsible for processing requests and delivering responses to customers.
Hosting, on the other hand, is a service provided by companies (hosting providers) that involves providing space on a server for files and data necessary for the operation of websites, online shops or applications. Hosting includes not only access to the server itself, but also a range of additional services to ensure the smooth functioning of hosted applications – such as server management, backup, security and technical support.
Our hosting is a comprehensive solution for large and advanced Magento stores that includes not only hosting in the technical sense, but also full administration, 24/7 monitoring, rapid response to breakdowns and technical support.
What is managed Magento hosting?
Managed Magento hosting includes not only the provision of server space, but also comprehensive technical support and management of the server infrastructure. We take care of all technical aspects related to the operation of an online store on Magento, including performance optimisation, security, scalability, data backup and regular software updates.
Managed Magento hosting differs from standard hosting with other providers in that it offers dedicated technology solutions tailored to Magento’s specific needs, such as optimised server configurations, caching (e.g. Varnish, Redis), advanced High Availability mechanisms and fault-tolerant redundancy solutions.
Clients using our managed Magento hosting can focus on running their business and developing their shop, while complex administrative and technical tasks are handled by our organisation’s experienced specialists.
