RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that can be accessed considerably faster than a disk drive, because the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a web server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web applications when they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you'll be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to surf your Internet sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for momentary storage purposes, since the data is lost as soon as the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts may use may be limited and could change according to what the other customers on the same server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you'll have a set amount of RAM that will not be used by others even if you don't use it at a particular time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All of our VPS server solutions include a guaranteed amount of RAM. To paraphrase, even in case you use just a tiny fraction of the system resources that your package includes, we'll never allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the very same physical web server. As we set up only a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to secure the appropriate operation of all VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically at some time. In the event you also choose to upgrade your package or to keep the latest one and to include only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. That way, we make sure that your websites will perform correctly at all times no matter what the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
If you need an effective hosting solution for your Internet sites and apps and you get one of the dedicated servers that we offer, you'll have a massive amount of physical memory available all the time. You shall be able to check out the hardware configuration anytime from the billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We test out the memory sticks meticulously along with the rest of the parts before we use them to assemble any machine, so when you buy one of our plans, you will get a high-quality hosting server that'll ensure exceptional efficiency for your sites. Even if you don't use the entire capacity of the web server for an extended period of time, the physical memory will still be available for your hosting server only.
