RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which is accessed noticeably faster than a disk drive, because the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web apps when they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more apps you'll be able to run at the same time and the more people will be able to look through your sites without effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for short-term storage purposes, since the info is lost the moment the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts are able to use may be limited and can change according to what the other customers on the same machine use. Using a virtual or a dedicated web server, however, you will have a guaranteed amount of RAM which will not be used by anyone else even if you do not use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All our VPS server plans include a set amount of RAM. Simply put, even if you use a small fraction of the system resources which your package offers, we will never allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the same physical web server. Due to the fact that we set up only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to secure the adequate overall performance of all VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically at some point. When you also decide to upgrade your package deal or to keep the latest one and to include just more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved only for your account. In this way, we make certain that your sites will function effectively all of the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of our dedicated server packages, you will get a top-notch web server with sufficient RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall performance of any of them. Due to the fact that we test every single hardware component before we use it when we set up a web server, we will make certain that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the hosting server runs flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get shall be available all the time, so even in times where you employ merely a part of it for any given period of time, we will not change the configuration. You'll be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, within the billing CP.
