2026 Add PhpRedis & Memcached Extensions

Job ID: 40279413

Budget: $10 – $11 USD

I’m running PHP 8.1 on a Hostgator account and need both the PhpRedis and memcached extensions enabled for better caching performance. I do not have SSH access and have never installed extensions myself, so the entire setup—including any work-arounds Hostgator may require—has to be handled through cPanel, WHM, ticket requests, or any other method you know will work on their platform.

What I will provide:
• cPanel credentials
• Any Hostgator support tickets you draft, should root-level action be necessary

What I expect back:
• PhpRedis and memcached showing as enabled in phpinfo() for PHP 8.1
• A short note describing exactly what was changed so I can repeat the process if I upgrade servers later
• Confirmation that both extensions load without errors in the Apache error log

That’s the whole job—once the two extensions are active and verified, the project is complete.

Regards,
Robin
