Redis is a high-performance in-memory caching system that helps improve website speed and reduce server load — especially for dynamic sites using platforms like WordPress, Magento, or Laravel.
With Redis now available on our hosting platform, you can enable it in just a few clicks from within your hosting control panel.
🔐 Accessing the Hosting Control Panel
If you're not already logged in, follow this guide:
👉 How to Access Your Web Hosting Control Panel
🚀 How to Enable Redis
-
From your hosting control panel dashboard, go to:
Advanced Features > Redis -
If Redis is currently disabled, you’ll see a message:
“This account has Redis disabled.” -
Click the green Enable button to activate Redis for your account
Redis will now start automatically in the background using a secure Unix socket.
📂 Redis Socket Path
Once enabled, Redis will be accessible via a Unix socket file located in your home directory:
/home/yourusername/.redis/redis.sock
Replace
yourusernamewith your actual hosting username (visible in your control panel’s account info section)
🔌 Using Redis in Your Applications
To connect Redis to your site or CMS:
-
Use the Unix socket path listed above instead of a host/port combination
-
For apps or plugins that require a port, use:
Port: 0
This is especially useful for WordPress Redis caching plugins, Magento cache backends, and Laravel queue drivers.
🛠 Troubleshooting & Tips
-
If your app isn’t connecting, double-check the socket path and permissions
-
Some plugins may require manual configuration of the Redis path
-
To avoid excessive memory usage, set a TTL (time to live) or max memory usage in your application config
-
Redis is designed for short-term storage — avoid storing large persistent data
