RAM, that refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed much quicker than a hard disk drive, due to the fact that the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web apps once they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more programs you'll be able to run at the same time and the more people will be able to browse your Internet sites without effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for momentary storage purposes, as the data is lost when the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts can use may be limited and could change depending on what the other customers on the same hosting server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you shall have a guaranteed amount of RAM that won't be used by anyone else even when you do not use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All of our VPS server solutions feature a guaranteed amount of RAM. To put it differently, even when you use a small fraction of the resources your package includes, we shall never allocate the free resources to a different VPS account on the exact same physical web server. Because we set up only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to guarantee the correct performance of the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically at some point. In the event you also decide to upgrade your package or to keep the latest one and to incorporate just more memory, the new amount will also be reserved only for your account. Thus, we ensure that your sites will perform adequately all the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All our dedicated server solutions feature a massive amount of physical memory, which will allow you to run extremely heavy web applications with no issues. We use brand-new and thoroughly tested hardware components when we set up a new web server to make certain that there will never be any issues of any kind. The RAM memory isn't an exception and if you get a dedicated server, we will make certain that you get the best functionality possible from the configuration you have chosen. Even if we determine that you aren't using the entire capacity of the web server, we will never modify the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be readily available shall always be the same. You are able to take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, within your billing Control Panel at any time.
