At a glance
Redis here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Redis is the in-memory data store that makes everything else faster: cache, sessions, queues, and pub/sub with sub-millisecond answers. It is the most-paired app in this catalog for a reason.
- What we install
- The playbook deploys current Redis bound to localhost with a password set, memory capped to a plan-appropriate limit with an eviction policy that suits caching, persistence configured, and the kernel settings Redis warns about actually fixed.
- What managed covers
- Updates, daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups, monitoring on memory and hit rates, and the managed firewall keeping 6379 off the public internet, where no Redis should ever be.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
Fits on SC-1GB, from $5/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.
Your options
Three ways to run Redis.
Installing Redis is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.
| Do it yourselfOn any unmanaged VPS | One-click imageAt most clouds | RemarkableCloudManaged Redis, from $5/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installing Redis | You: dependencies, database, HTTPS | Preinstalled once, then it is yours | Deployed by a tested playbook, database and HTTPS wired |
| Updates | You | You | Us, with a snapshot first |
| Monitoring and security | You | You | Us, 24/7: monitoring, firewall and IDS |
| Backups | You | Usually a paid add-on | Daily snapshots included, Dual Backups optional |
| Other apps on the server | Yours to wire up | One app per server | As many as fit, $0 each |
| When something breaks | You fix it | You fix it | Our engineers fix it, day or night |
Built for
What people run on Redis here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
Object cache for CMSs
WordPress and friends drop database load dramatically with Redis object caching. Pair it beside any site on the server.
Sessions and queues
The standard backend for PHP sessions, Laravel queues, Sidekiq and BullMQ. Fast because it lives in RAM.
Rate limiting and counters
Atomic operations make Redis the right tool for counting things at speed.
Pub/sub between services
Lightweight messaging for small architectures that do not need a broker cluster.
Stack it
Redis works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as Redis, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.

The details
Redis here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Redis hosting include?
A correctly capped, password-protected, localhost-bound Redis with the sysctl homework done, monitored and backed up, for $0 on top of your server. The most cost-effective performance upgrade in the catalog.
What difference does Redis actually make?
For CMS and store workloads, object caching through Redis turns repeated database queries into memory lookups: admin dashboards get snappy, checkouts stop recomputing, and the database breathes. For custom backends it is sessions, queues, and rate limiting without another service bill.
Which catalog apps use it?
WordPress and WooCommerce through object caching, Moodle for its application caches, Drupal for cache bins, PrestaShop, Nextcloud for file locking, and n8n for queue mode. The playbooks wire the connection when you stack them together.
Why must Redis never face the internet?
Because an open Redis is a compromised server within hours; it is one of the most scanned-for services there is. Ours binds to localhost with a password, and the managed firewall would block 6379 even if it did not. Security here is defaults, not homework.
FAQ
Redis hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Redis need?
It needs what you give it: the playbook caps it (512 MB to 1 GB is typical for cache duty) so it accelerates the server instead of competing with it.
Does Redis persist data?
Yes, snapshots to disk are configured, appropriate for cache and session duty. For Redis as a primary datastore we configure AOF persistence on request.
Redis alongside every app?
Almost: if you are stacking two or more PHP apps, adding Redis is nearly always worth its 1 GB line in the meter. It is the catalog's best pound-for-pound addition.
Is it password-protected and persistent?
Yes on both. It binds to localhost with a password set at install, and persistence is enabled so a restart does not empty your data.
How much RAM should I give Redis?
Its dataset lives in memory, so size to what you cache plus headroom. A shared server with a CMS does fine small; dedicated queue workloads deserve their own plan.
Is this Redis on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Redis runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Can you help me move my existing data over?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Redis runs. You sleep.
