RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that could be accessed much more quickly than a disk drive, simply because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs after they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more programs you'll be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to look through your websites without any effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for temporary storage purposes, since the info is lost once the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts are able to use may be limited and might change based on what the other customers on the same hosting server use. Using a virtual or a dedicated web server, alternatively, you'll have a set amount of RAM that won't be used by anyone else even when you don't use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All our VPS server solutions come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. To paraphrase, even if you use only a tiny fraction of the system resources which your plan offers, we will not allot the free resources to another VPS account on the same physical server. As we create only a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have ample free memory to secure the proper performance of all VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded substantially at some point. In the event you also choose to upgrade your plan or to keep the latest one and to add just more memory, the new amount will also be reserved just for your account. This way, we make sure that your sites will function effectively all the time regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All our dedicated server solutions include a great deal of physical memory, that will enable you to run incredibly heavy web apps without any issues. We use brand-new and extensively tested hardware components when we install a new server to guarantee that there won't be any troubles of any sort. The RAM memory isn't an exception and when you acquire a dedicated server, we will ensure that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration which you have chosen. Even if we notice that you are not using the entire capacity of the hosting server, we won't modify the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be readily available shall always be the same. You may check the configuration, including the physical memory, within your billing Control Panel at any time.
