Redis Caching

Redis is an in-memory datastore used for caching, sessions and queues. Vanta Panel can install it on the server and enable it per hosting account.

Turning it on

Redis is enabled by an administrator, not by the hosting account itself — there is no Redis page in vPanel.

1. In vWHM → Java Apps, install the Redis server package on the machine. This is a one-time step per server.
2. In vWHM → Accounts, open the account and enable Redis for it.

Once both are done, a Redis card appears on that account's vPanel Dashboard showing its status. The account does not need to do anything else, and nothing has to be rebuilt.

Connecting your app

Applications on the server connect to Redis at:

There is no password because Redis listens on the loopback interface and is not exposed to the network. Nothing outside the server can reach it.

For a Spring Boot application:

spring.data.redis.host=127.0.0.1
spring.data.redis.port=6379

PHP, Node and Python clients take the same host and port.

Notes

• Redis holds data in memory. Treat it as a cache: anything you cannot afford to lose belongs in MySQL, not Redis.
• Because it is shared on the server, use distinct key prefixes per application so two apps cannot collide.
• Redis is included in the licence at no extra cost, like every other service — there is no per-service or per-account fee.
