from Söhlde to Hanover
In Hanover, businesses operate online shops that process hundreds or thousands of orders daily. An outage means not just lost revenue but also eroded trust from customers who switch to a competitor. At the same time, new security vulnerabilities in shop systems, plugins and server software are disclosed every month, becoming attack vectors without timely patching. Professional shop maintenance is the answer: proactive updates, continuous monitoring and an emergency plan that takes effect before damage occurs.
Why Hanover Online Shops Need Professional Maintenance
Most shop outages are preventable. They do not result from spectacular hacks but from neglected basics: a security update applied three months too late, a full disk because nobody cleaned the log files, an expired SSL certificate making the browser show a warning page, or a failed backup only noticed during restore. Each of these problems is technically trivial, but without systematic maintenance, one of them is highly likely to occur.
For Hanover businesses, an additional factor applies: GDPR makes shop operators responsible for the security of processed customer data. An unpatched shop system that gets hacked and leaks customer data is not just a technical problem but a legal one. Professional maintenance with documented update cycles and security measures is your due diligence documentation in case of a data protection audit.

What Our Shop Maintenance in Hanover Covers
Security Updates and Patching
Timely application of core updates, plugin patches and server security fixes. Scanning for known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and proactive action before exploits are published. Shopware-specific expertise included.
Uptime and Performance Monitoring
Around-the-clock monitoring of availability, response times and server load. Immediate alerting on outages or performance drops. Monthly reporting with uptime statistics and performance trends.
Backup Management
Daily automated backups of files and database. Regular restore tests to ensure backups actually work when needed. Off-site storage of backups in a separate data center.
Performance Optimization
Quarterly analysis and optimization of load times, Core Web Vitals and server configuration. Image optimization, cache tuning, database cleanup and asset compression for faster page delivery.
Emergency Support
A dedicated contact who knows your shop, with an average of 45 minutes to first response. If your shop is hacked, our emergency support also steps in without an ongoing contract — on site in Hanover if needed.
Documentation and Compliance
Complete documentation of all performed measures: update protocols, backup logs and monitoring reports. Your due diligence documentation for GDPR audits and compliance inquiries.
Proactive Maintenance Instead of Fire-Fighting Mode
Many Hanover businesses operate their shops in reactive mode: action is only taken when something breaks. This is like driving a car without inspections: it works until it does not, and then the damage exceeds the saved maintenance costs. Our approach is proactive: we update before vulnerabilities are exploited. We optimize before performance drops below the pain threshold. We test backups before they are needed. And we monitor so we detect problems before your customers notice them.
This proactive model pays off measurably: shops under our maintenance achieve an average uptime of 99.9 percent (project experience). Security incidents that regularly occur in unmaintained shops are the exception with our clients. And load times remain stable because we detect performance degradation early and counteract before it becomes a problem.
On Site in the Hanover Business Region
Our office is in Söhlde near Hildesheim, about 30 minutes from Hanover. For most maintenance tasks, on-site presence is not required since we access your servers remotely. But there are situations where personal presence makes the difference: a server room problem that cannot be diagnosed remotely, a hardware swap at the hosting provider or a crisis meeting after a security incident. In these cases, we are with you in Hanover within an hour — from the city center to Garbsen, from the List district to Laatzen.
From Söhlde we maintain online shops across the entire business region between Hanover, Hildesheim and Braunschweig. The city chips lead to our other regional pages.

How the Collaboration Begins
Technical Assessment
We analyze your current shop: system version, installed plugins, server configuration, backup situation and known vulnerabilities. The result is an honest assessment of the current state — free of charge and without obligation.
Put Your Hanover Shop in Experienced Hands
We handle security updates, monitoring and backups under clear SLAs — and in an emergency we are quickly available by phone and in person.
Security as the Foundation of Shop Maintenance
Every week, new security vulnerabilities in content management systems, shop systems and their plugins are disclosed. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) regularly warns of actively exploited vulnerabilities in widespread web shop software. For Hanover businesses processing personal data and payment information, an unpatched system is a legal and economic risk. Our maintenance encompasses not only timely application of known patches but also proactive monitoring of CVE databases and vendor advisories. Critical security updates are applied within 24 hours, regular updates on a defined schedule with prior staging verification.
Beyond that, we conduct quarterly security scans that go beyond pure update management: checking server configuration for open ports and insecure services, analyzing file permissions and directory structures, reviewing SSL/TLS configuration and HTTP security headers. This systematic approach ensures your shop is not only current but also hardened against the most common attack vectors: SQL injection, cross-site scripting and brute-force attacks on admin access.
Performance Monitoring for Hanover Shops
Performance is not a one-time project but an ongoing process. New content, additional plugins and growing databases continuously change load times. Our monitoring captures Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and server-side response time (TTFB) at regular intervals and alerts us when thresholds are exceeded. This way we detect performance degradation early and can counteract before your customers or search engines notice the change. Quarterly, we optimize databases, clean orphaned data, check caching configuration and compress newly added media assets. This continuous care keeps your shop at the performance level customers and search engines expect.
Transparent Reporting and Communication
Every maintenance cycle is fully documented. You receive monthly reports that transparently present all performed updates, backup status, uptime statistics and performance trends. Quarterly, we supplement with a more detailed review with recommendations for the next three months. All reports are formulated understandably, without technical fog but with the relevant details for your decision-making. For critical incidents, we communicate immediately: what happened, what measures were initiated and what impact is expected. This transparency is not an add-on service but part of our maintenance philosophy.
Platforms We Maintain in Hanover
Our maintenance expertise covers the shop systems and content management systems most common among Hanover mid-market companies. Shopware CE is our primary focus: we know the architecture, plugin landscape and typical configuration pitfalls. Additionally, we maintain WordPress-based shops and websites with focus on plugin security and performance, and TYPO3 installations with the specific requirements of the enterprise CMS. Regardless of platform: every update is tested on a staging environment, every change documented and every backup regularly verified for recoverability.
Emergency Processes and Managed Hosting
No system is immune to outages. What matters is preparation. For every maintenance client, we create a documented emergency runbook: who is notified in what order, what diagnostic steps are performed, how a rollback is triggered and how to reach us outside business hours. In an emergency, we work through this runbook systematically rather than improvising. And if the emergency has already happened: we clean up hacked systems even without a maintenance contract — websites from €390, online shops from €1,490 (small shops from €990), immediate help at €95 net per hour. Details on the emergency support page.
Additionally, for Hanover businesses we also offer managed hosting on servers in German data centers. Combining hosting and maintenance enables tighter integration of all technical aspects: server optimization, SSL management, backup configuration and performance tuning are then in one hand and benefit from knowledge of your specific system.
