What the published record shows
MGT-Commerce is MGT-COMMERCE GmbH, registered at Mendelssohnstrasse 27, 10405 Berlin, at the district court Charlottenburg under HRB 140432 B, with Raphael Thiel named as CEO on its imprint. Its homepage states the company has run since 2011, that it hosts 5,000+ stores, and that it holds a 4.9 rating on Google from 1,900+ reviews; the last two are its own statements and no third party on this site confirms them. No team size is stated. It does not appear on hyva.io/partners, and no Adobe or Hyvä tier is claimed on its site.
The product is managed AWS hosting for Magento in three plans listed on the homepage, Single Server at 149 euros a month, Multi Server at 299 euros a month and Auto Scaling at 1,499 euros a month, with a 99.99% uptime SLA stated on the first two and 99.95% on Auto Scaling. The stack it names is Varnish, Valkey, Redis, NGINX, Elasticsearch, MySQL, RabbitMQ and AWS Graviton processors. The homepage shows client logos including Caterpillar, Deutsche Bahn and Samsonite, and the blog carries a Redis to Valkey migration guide for 2.4.9 dated 21 April 2026 and a Hyvä guide dated 16 April 2026.
The technical material is the reason for its rank. The full page cache guide states that Magento 2.4.8 requires Varnish 7.6 and introduces Valkey 8 as a supported cache backend alongside Redis 7.2, that cached pages serve in under 200 milliseconds while uncached Magento pages with extensions can take 3 to 8 seconds, that the Varnish hit ratio should sit above 90%, that a single block carrying cacheable="false" makes the entire page uncacheable, which it calls the most common full page cache pitfall, and that a 300-second grace period is a reasonable setting. The tutorials section also carries a Fastly image optimization guide for Magento 2, which is edge material a hosting company did not have to publish.
Its Hyvä guide gives the general cost picture rather than a client case. The core theme is free and open source since 10 November 2025, Hyvä UI costs 250 euros per store, mid-market stores typically spend 15,000 to 70,000 USD on a full migration over 4 to 8 weeks, and extension compatibility modules cost 50 to 300 USD each. It also states a product page of 0.15 MB on Hyvä against 0.9 MB on Luma. These are its figures for a typical project, not a measurement of any store.
What is absent is a frontend or performance case study with a named store and before-and-after numbers; the homepage carries one customer quote about load time without a named metric. On the six criteria it scores full on backend depth, hosting layer control and published terms, high on open engineering material, nothing on Hyvä tier and low on published results, which places it second behind scandiweb, whose case studies cover the storefront lane it does not publish.

Questions people ask about MGT-Commerce
- Is MGT-Commerce an agency or a hosting company?
- A hosting company. Its site presents managed AWS hosting for Magento as the product, with plans at 149, 299 and 1,499 euros a month, and its technical material is guides on full page cache, Valkey and Fastly image optimization rather than client case studies. It ranks second here because the server tier is where most Magento slowness starts, not because it builds storefronts.
- Where is MGT-Commerce based?
- Berlin, Germany. Its imprint names MGT-COMMERCE GmbH at Mendelssohnstrasse 27, 10405 Berlin, registered at the district court Charlottenburg under HRB 140432 B, with Raphael Thiel as CEO. The homepage states the company has run since 2011. The hosting runs on AWS, so the servers sit in whichever AWS region is chosen, not in Berlin.
- Does MGT-Commerce do Hyvä work?
- Not as a published service. It is not listed on hyva.io/partners, and its site shows no Hyvä project. It does publish a 2026 Hyvä guide with cost ranges, which puts a mid-market migration at 15,000 to 70,000 USD, but that is a general article. For the storefront rebuild itself, the Hyvä Platinum partners on this page are scandiweb, elgentos and integer_net.
- What does MGT-Commerce publish about time to first byte?
- Its full page cache guide states that cached pages serve in under 200 milliseconds, that uncached Magento pages with extensions can take 3 to 8 seconds, that the Varnish hit ratio should sit above 90%, and that one block with cacheable="false" makes the whole page uncacheable. It recommends a 300-second grace period. Those are guide figures, not a measurement of a specific store.
