Redis VPS HostingCache, Sessions and Queues in Memory

Run Redis on a server where the memory is reserved for it, beside your app or as a dedicated cache server. We install Redis with authentication on, bind it to localhost or your app servers and set a memory limit for your plan.

  • Reserved RAM

    Memory for your dataset that no one else can use.

  • Reserved vCores

    Commands run on cores that are yours.

  • Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6

    Allow-list the servers that may connect.

  • Daily backups

    Automatic backup of the previous 24 hours.

Why a VPS

Why Self-Host Redis on a VPS

Hosted Redis is priced by memory and connections. On a VPS you get the whole server's RAM for a flat price, configured for your use case.

  1. Memory at a flat price

    Use most of the plan's RAM for Redis instead of paying per gigabyte.

  2. Persistence your way

    RDB snapshots, an append-only file, or no persistence at all, depending on whether Redis is a cache or a store.

  3. Low latency to your app

    On the same server, apps reach Redis over localhost or a Unix socket.

  4. Full configuration

    maxmemory, eviction policies, ACL users and modules, without provider restrictions.

The stack

How a Redis Server Is Locked Down

Access is limited at the network and the user level; memory and persistence are set for your workload.

Connection from your application

  1. Network

    bind + UFW

    Listens on localhost or a Unix socket; port 6379 opens only to app IPs when needed.

  2. Access

    ACL users / requirepass

    Password authentication, with ACL users per application if you like.

  3. Memory

    maxmemory + eviction policy

    A limit below the plan's RAM, with allkeys-lru for caches or noeviction for queues.

  4. Persistence

    RDB / AOF on NVMe

    Snapshots or an append-only file, or none for a pure cache.

Worth knowing

  • Never expose Redis to the internet without authentication: open instances are attacked automatically.
  • Queues such as BullMQ, Sidekiq or Horizon need noeviction so jobs are never dropped.
  • Set vm.overcommit_memory = 1 so background saves do not fail.
  • Redis 7.4 and later use new licences; Valkey is an open-source fork that works as a drop-in replacement.
What you can run

What a Redis VPS Is Used For

  • Application cache

    Query results, rendered fragments and API responses.

  • Session storage

    Fast, shared sessions for one or more app servers.

  • Job queues

    BullMQ, Sidekiq, Laravel Horizon or Celery.

  • Rate limiting and locks

    Atomic counters and distributed locks.

  • Real-time features

    Pub/Sub and streams for live updates.

  • Leaderboards and counters

    Sorted sets and atomic increments.

Sizing guide

Which Plan for Your Redis Server

Set maxmemory well below the plan's RAM, and lower still with persistence, which can briefly need extra memory during saves.

Recommended VPS plan for each Redis workload
Workload Start with Why
Cache and sessions beside your app VPS-1 2 vCores · 4 GB RAM A few GB for Redis alongside the app.
Dedicated cache or queue server VPS-2 4 vCores · 8 GB RAM Around 5 GB of maxmemory.
Large cache or several apps VPS-3 6 vCores · 12 GB RAM Around 8 GB of maxmemory.
Large datasets VPS-4 8 vCores · 24 GB RAM Around 16 GB of maxmemory with 24 GB RAM.

A starting point, not a limit: every plan upgrades in place, keeping your data, IP address and configuration.

Hosted Redis or Your Own Server?

Hosted Redis adds failover and management. A VPS gives you more memory for the money and full control.

Feature Hosted Redis service Redis VPS
Pricing By memory and connections Flat monthly plan
Configuration Provider options Full redis.conf
Persistence and backups Managed Your choice, plus daily VPS backup
Failover Built in on higher tiers Your own setup with Sentinel
Latency to your app A network hop localhost on the same server
Server administration Handled by the provider Yours, after our free setup
See Plans
After handover

First Steps With Your Redis Server

Check the connection and memory settings, then open access for an app server if you need to.

  1. Test the connection

    redis-cli asks for the password.

  2. Check memory settings

    The limit and eviction policy we set.

  3. Allow an app server

    Bind to the right interface and open 6379 to one address.

  4. Watch it

    Memory use and latency.

# 1. Test the connection

redis-cli --askpass ping

# 2. Check memory settings

redis-cli --askpass CONFIG GET maxmemory*

# 3. Allow an app server

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

sudo ufw allow from 203.0.113.10 to any port 6379 proto tcp

sudo systemctl restart redis-server

# 4. Watch it

redis-cli --askpass INFO memory

redis-cli --askpass --latency

Free one-time setup

Installed and Secured Before You Log In

The VPS is unmanaged: after handover the server is yours to run. Before that, our engineers do the first setup once, free, so you start from a hardened server with Redis in place.

  1. Choose a plan and location

    Pick the resources you need and the datacentre closest to your users.

  2. Tell us your Redis setup

    Versions, database and domain: at order or right after.

  3. We install and secure it

    Server hardened, Redis installed and tested, HTTPS on your domain.

  4. You take over with root

    SSH access to a working server, ready for your code and data.

Your Redis server

  • Redis from the OS repository, or Valkey on request
  • Password authentication on, protected mode kept on
  • maxmemory and an eviction policy for your use case
  • bind and the firewall limited to localhost or your app servers
  • Persistence set to match a cache or a store

Yours to run after handover

  • Ongoing server administration
  • Application maintenance and updates
  • Debugging your code
  • Migrating existing sites or data

Not included in the free setup, but we can quote for it. No control panel by default: CloudPanel, HestiaCP or Virtualmin on request at no cost; cPanel and Plesk need their own licence.

Who it's for

Who a Redis VPS Suits

  • Apps that need a fast cache

    Sessions, caching and rate limits beside the app.

  • Queue-heavy back ends

    Horizon, BullMQ, Sidekiq or Celery workloads.

  • Teams splitting services

    A dedicated cache server shared by several app servers.

Running it well

Security and Performance for Redis

Security

  • Keep Redis off the public internet: bind to localhost or allow-listed IPs only.
  • Use strong passwords or ACL users, and deny FLUSHALL and CONFIG to application users.
  • Use TLS or a private tunnel between servers.
  • Stay on a supported Redis release.

Performance

  • Set maxmemory and an eviction policy that match the workload.
  • Use SCAN instead of KEYS in production.
  • Watch slow commands with SLOWLOG and look for very large keys.
  • Pipeline bulk operations to cut round trips.
