Why Hypernode and maxcluster is now our strategic Hosting Partner (and what that means for you)
Back in September, we announced something we'd been working on for a while: Hypernode and maxcluster became our primary hosting partners. If you're wondering what that actually means beyond the press release, let's break it down.
The Partnership that makes sense for the future
We've known the Hypernode team for years. Our Commercial Manager used to work for them, here is what Sanne Bolkenstein says about this partnership opportunities for both companies:
Hypernode and maxcluster, just like Hyvä, are strong players in the Magento community and a big supporter of open source. Both of our companies are from the Netherlands, operating globally. We share our ambition to grow the Magento market. Thanks to these synergies, we can accomplish a lot together: on a technical level, by integrating our technologies to offer our clients the best hosting platform for their Hyvä shop, but also on a business level through joint event marketing and community outreach. "
They get what we're trying to do with Hyvä, and frankly, they've been doing something similar on the hosting side. While we simplify the user interface, they're building hosting infrastructure that's laser-focused on Magento e-commerce performance. It's a natural fit.
Hypernode and maxcluster are delighted to be Hyvä’s primary hosting partner. This allows retailers to benefit from an optimal combination of innovative front-end and high-performance hosting "
Hypernode specialises in managed hosting for Magento and e-commerce applications, with a strong presence across the Benelux countries, the UK, and Scandinavia, and maxcluster is a leading hosting provider in the DACH region. They're part of team.blue, which means they've got serious resources behind them, but they've kept that focused, customer-first approach we value.
Our collaboration with Hyvä started more than four years ago and is built on a shared vision for exceptional e-commerce performance. By combining Hyvä’s cutting-edge frontend technology with maxcluster’s high-performance hosting, we want to empower agencies and merchants to create fast, reliable, and future-proof online stores. What officially started at DMEXCO marks the beginning of a strong partnership dedicated to advancing the Magento ecosystem in DACH together

What's in it for you?
Whether you're running an agency or managing your own store, this partnership brings some tangible benefits.
For Merchants: You get hosting that's built specifically for what you're running. Hypernode's and maxcluster’s platform is optimised for Hyvä, which means faster load times, better uptime, and fewer headaches. They handle the technical complexity so you can focus on selling. Plus, with GDPR-compliant data sovereignty baked in, you're not gambling with compliance.
For Agencies: Reliable hosting makes your life easier. When clients ask about hosting recommendations, you can point them to a partner that actually understands Hyvä's architecture. Hypernode's and maxcluster’s platform reduces your total cost of ownership, which means more budget for the work that actually drives revenue. And when things do go sideways (because let's face it, they sometimes do), you're working with a team that knows how to fix Hyvä-specific issues quickly.
For Developers: This is where it gets interesting. Joint technical developments between Hyvä and Hypernode mean simplified deployments. Less time wrestling with server configs, more time building features. We're working together on tooling that makes spinning up Hyvä instances smoother and faster.
Hyvä, maxcluster and Hypernode have a very similar mission: support Magento Open Source merchants with modern technology, with a strong focus on performance. Our combined forces and expertise will drive this even further. We're future-proofing Magento, pushing the platform to the limits, and making it faster than ever before. Together we offer mid-market merchants control over their data, privacy, roadmap, and cost, and allow them to have ownership over their stores
Why we chose Hypernode and maxcluster
Our core values are pretty straightforward: simplicity, quality, performance, and yes, fun. Hypernode and maxcluster ticke very box.
They share our obsession with performance. They believe in keeping things simple rather than drowning merchants in unnecessary complexity. And they've built their entire operation around automation and security, which aligns perfectly with our approach of reducing dependencies and improving the developer experience.
We've got over 5,900 live Hyvä sites across 81 countries now, with 850+ agencies building on our platform. That's a lot of stores that need rock-solid hosting, and we needed a partner who could scale with that growth without compromising on quality.
With close to 6,000 websites worldwide adopting Hyvä in the last 5 years, a double-digit growth that is driving the whole Magento segment forward, and Hypernode and maxcluster part of European unicorn team.blue. We are well equipped to make more businesses aware that they have a strong option to build differentiating yet affordable online stores that they can fully own and grow on their own terms
What's next?
This isn't just a logo swap on our website. We're actively collaborating on technical solutions, showing up together at events, and making sure European merchants have access to the best possible combination of frontend and hosting technology.
If you're already running Hyvä on Hypernode or maxcluster, brilliant, you're set up nicely. If you're considering the move or just starting your Hyvä journey, it's worth having a conversation with the Hypernode and maxcluster team about what they can do for your specific setup.
We're building an ecosystem where merchants, agencies, and developers can all thrive without fighting their tools. Partnering with Hypernode and maxcluster is another step in that direction.
