RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which can be accessed considerably faster than a hard disk drive, simply because the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web apps once they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more apps you shall be able to run all at once and the more people will be able to check out your Internet sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for non permanent storage purposes, because the information is lost as soon as the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts can use may be limited and may change depending on what the some other clients on the same server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, alternatively, you'll have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by others even if you don't use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All our VPS server packages include a guaranteed amount of RAM. Simply put, even if you use just a small fraction of the resources your package deal includes, we'll never allocate the free resources to a different VPS account on the very same physical server. As we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have ample free memory to guarantee the correct functioning of the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded substantially eventually. When you also decide to upgrade your package or to keep the present one and to include just more memory, the new amount will also be reserved only for your account. This way, we make certain that your web sites will perform effectively all of the time no matter what the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
The amount of RAM that comes with every dedicated server that we offer is large enough even for very resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be available for your websites and any other software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so even when at some point you use a fraction of the system resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the components are tested before the web server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to guarantee that you shall get a flawlessly operating server that can ensure the best possible overall performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory which you have shall be listed together with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
