RAM, which means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed considerably faster than a hard disk drive, as the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs once they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more apps you will be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to check out your websites with no effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for momentary storage purposes, because the data is lost when the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts could use may be limited and might change based upon what the other customers on the same server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, on the other hand, you will have a set amount of RAM that will not be used by anyone else even when you don't use it at a certain time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
All our virtual private server plans feature a set amount of RAM. To put it differently, even when you use just a fraction of the resources your plan comes with, we shall never allot the free resources to another VPS account on the exact same physical web server. Since we set up only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have plenty of free memory to secure the correct overall performance of all the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded significantly at some time. In case you also opt to upgrade your package or to keep the active one and to add only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved just for your account. That way, we ensure that your sites will function effectively all the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
The amount of RAM included with each dedicated server which we offer you is sufficient enough even for extremely resource-demanding web programs. The memory shall be readily available for your Internet sites and any software which you install on the server at all times, so if at some point you use merely a fraction of the system resources which you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All the components are examined before the web server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to guarantee that you will get a flawlessly operating server that can ensure the best possible general performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed together with the full web server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
