RAM, which is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed faster than a hard drive, because the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web apps when they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you'll be able to run at the same time and the more people shall be able to check out your Internet sites without effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, since the info is lost once the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts are able to use may be limited and may change based on what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. With a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you shall have a set amount of RAM which will not be used by others even when you do not use it at a particular time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory you will get with every single VPS server that we provide is guaranteed and shall be readily available at all times even when you do not use the whole thing for a long length of time. Each VPS account features fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we shall never allocate some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, so as to make sure that it won't ever run out of memory. This way, there will always be free RAM if you want to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless operation of the physical hosting server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with each and every dedicated server which we offer is sufficient enough even for quite resource-demanding web apps. The memory shall be readily available for your Internet sites and every other software you install on the server at all times, so if at some point you use just a fraction of the system resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All the components are subjected to testing before the hosting server is built, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you shall get a flawlessly performing web server that will ensure the best possible overall performance for your websites. The amount of physical memory you have will be listed along with the full server configuration specifications within your billing Control Panel.
