Varnish and Redis support :)

Varnish does not support HTTPS as far as I know so if you want to use it you should still run Apache to serve HTTPS requests or use NGINX for HTTPS only. It makes using of Vanish too complicated and pointless for shared hosting.

Redis is a PECL extension. There is no reason to add only redis, if directadmin and custombuild goes a way to support and allow to install PECL extensions it would be much better than supporting only one specific extension.

Well, install Varnish is quite easy to implement, but why wouldn't you use nginx as caching layer?

I tried, but I could not run this. I have something about 30 users on the server and i don't want mess up user's configurations. I know varnish but i don't know nginx cacheing. Sadly but true :]

Actually, you're right. I had not thought of it that way :)

Once you install varnish with YUM it will run on default port, than you have to decide more or less the layer you want to have:
Examples:
VARNISH -> APACHE
VARNISH -> NGINX
VARNISH -> NGINX -> APACHE
NGINX -> VARNISH- APACHE (80) + NGINX -> APACHE (443)

I used the last one for a bit but because i'm not a Varnish expert (specially on the intial VCL creation) some customer were having issue with their CMS:
All those options require you to work on custom templates to adapt them to use different ports and proxy the calls.

You may need a test server to do that without break anything on a live environment while you're testing or maybe hire someone to do that for you.

Best regards
