What This Change Means for You

• Enhanced Offering: Provide enterprise-level caching with automated, secure per-user instances at no extra cost.
• Flexible Pricing: Retain the freedom to charge for Redis usage or offer it as a value-added service.
• Simplified Management: AccelerateWP handles instance creation and resource allocation automatically.

Key Points to Remember

1. No Additional Costs: Redis Object Cache is now 100% free for hosting providers using CloudLinux OS PRO, SOLO, or ADMIN licenses.
2. Billing Flexibility: Hosting providers maintain the option to charge their customers for Redis usage or include it as a free feature.
3. AccelerateWP Dependency: Redis functionality still requires AccelerateWP to be activated on the server. 
4. Compatibility Note: Other object caching plugins remain incompatible with AccelerateWP's Redis implementation.
5. Premium Feature Management: The decision to enable billable premium features (like Critical CSS and Image Optimization) has been centralized in the CloudLinux Network (CLN) for easier administration.

Why Redis Automation From AccelerateWP is a Game-Changer

1. Automated Per-User Instances: AccelerateWP automatically generates a new Redis instance for each user when needed. This is crucial for:
   • Enhancing data security by isolating each user's cached data
   • Optimizing server resources by allocating them only when necessary (or when they are paid for by hosting users)
     
     
2. Scalability: By securely generating a Redis Object Cache instance per user, you can ensure that each website operates independently, enhancing performance even as traffic increases. This capability supports your growth by enabling you to efficiently manage more clients without additional hardware investments.
   
   
3. Resource Efficiency: Efficient caching reduces server resource strain, allowing you to serve more clients with existing infrastructure, increasing profitability.

Getting Started

To take advantage of this exciting update:

1. Ensure you're using a supported license of CloudLinux OS (any combination of PRO, SOLO, or ADMIN).

2. Update to the latest version of AccelerateWP(accelerate-wp-1.9-18) on your servers if you haven't already.

To Update run the command:

yum update accelerate-wp lve-utils alt-python27-cllib cloudlinux-awp-plugin --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing

 3. If you have a CLN account, you have the option to offer billable premium features (Critical CSS File Generation & Image  Optimization Service). Ensure the correct setting is selected in CLN for your needs.

For detailed instruction visit CLN documentation. 

4. Decide if you want to upsell premium or provide redis free of charge to your customers and ensure the appropriate setting is configured per server. (HINT: use our new WHMCS module “CloudLinux Advantage” to add Redis features to specific hosting packages and enable the automatic upsell functionality!)

Please Note: To ensure you're not billed for Redis Object Cache usage, it's crucial to update your AccelerateWP packages to the latest version. Here's what you need to know:

• If you have end-users currently using Redis Object Cache with an older version of AccelerateWP, you will still be billed for Premium usage in the current billing period.
• Once you update to the latest version, billing for Redis Object Cache usage will cease starting from your next billing period.
• We strongly recommend updating as soon as possible to take full advantage of this new free feature.

To update your AccelerateWP packages please refer to the ‘Getting Started’ section above. If you have any questions about this billing change, please contact our support team.
