Who we are.
Do you know that feeling of being left in the lurch by your hosting provider when things get critical — only to be met with a string of excuses afterwards?
We know it all too well! We’ve been running several large Magento shops ourselves for over 16 years, and during that time we’ve heard plenty of fine promises from hosting providers — and, thank goodness, seen them vanish into thin air often enough. Yes, thank goodness: that was exactly the impetus we needed to get seriously to grips with Magento, architecture and hosting.
That’s exactly what the polar bear in our logo stands for: alone in a harsh environment — and yet you still make it through. We are polar bears!
It’s been a long journey. But at some point we realised: all we really need is a hosting provider that supplies decent hardware. Going to the data centre isn’t Louis’s thing. Luisa prefers Magento to Shopware. And Paul likes hardware. And people. But that’s beside the point here.
We’re a small team. PARC Network stands for Process and Research Centre — and that’s exactly what we do: thinking through processes, researching architectures, sharing what works. PARC Network is our second main focus alongside the Magento shops we run ourselves. That’s exactly why we don’t want just any customer — we want partners on an equal footing. The sort from whom we can also learn, even beyond Magento hosting.
We want to run your Magento, install updates and see what tricks you’ve got up your sleeve. A lively exchange is important to us.
Our 10 Commandments.
So that no one has any false expectations.
- No Shopware, no WordPress, no Joomla & Co. — Magento 2 is our speciality. But if you’d like to switch or migrate from another shop system (e.g. Shopware, WooCommerce, OXID, JTL) to Magento 2, we’d be interested to hear from you.
- No Magento Commerce / Adobe Commerce licensing. We work with Magento Open Source — the community fork that continues to develop Magento independently of Adobe. No licence lock-in. But if you’d like to switch or migrate from Adobe Commerce to Magento Open Source, we’d love to hear from you.
- No Magento on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. We rely on European providers and dedicated infrastructure — for GDPR sovereignty, the Cloud Act and to avoid vendor lock-in.
- No SLA promises, no response time guarantees. No one can monitor or enforce this 100% impartially — you can spend days comparing providers and doing research, only to find in the end that most issues are either covered by force majeure, scheduled maintenance, or not covered at all. And in the event of a loss? At best, a credit against a monthly fee; at worst, a few pence — neither ever covers the actual business loss. So we don’t promise it, but we do it as quickly as we possibly can.
- No 24/7 hotline for hardware emergencies. That’s the hosting provider’s responsibility — and good hosting providers don’t need us for that.
- No list prices, no S/M/L/XL packages, no clicking up or down on cores, RAM or storage in a configurator. We scale the architecture to suit your shop — with reserves. Even a TV advert at 8.15 pm is no problem.
- No sales team, no marketing budget. If you’re happy with us, we’d love a recommendation.
- No “Hyvä Hosting” — there’s no such thing. Hyvä is a front-end theme, not a hosting stack. We know our way around Hyvä, by the way — and you can use it anywhere anyway, not just with us.
- No AI marketing. Yes, we use AI in our work — but we don’t integrate proprietary “super-AI” cloud services into your architecture just to make the pitch sound modern.
- No ISO certificates, no wall of logos with client testimonials, no “Trusted Partner” seals. We’re not award hunters. We too have master’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees and other qualifications — but above all, we have over 16 years’ experience in Magento. Just have a chat with us and see for yourself.
