RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed much faster than a hard disk, because the information 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 can use, the more apps you shall be able to run at the same time and the more people shall be able to explore your Internet sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, as the info is lost once the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts are able to use may be limited and might change according to what the other customers on the same machine use. With a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, however, you'll have a set amount of RAM that will not be used by anyone else even when you don't use it at a certain time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

All of our virtual private server packages include a guaranteed amount of RAM. To put it differently, even when you use just a small fraction of the system resources that your package deal comes with, we will not assign the free resources to some other VPS account on the exact same physical server. Since we set up only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have ample free memory to guarantee the proper operation of the VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably eventually. When you also opt to upgrade your package deal or to keep the current one and to add just more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. This way, we make sure that your web sites will function correctly constantly whatever the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

The amount of RAM that comes with every single dedicated server that we offer is large enough even for very resource-demanding web applications. The memory shall be available for your Internet sites and any other software that you install on the web server at all times, so if at some point you use just a fraction of the resources you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the parts are subjected to testing before the hosting server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you'll get a flawlessly operating web server that will guarantee the best possible general performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory which you have will be listed along with the full hosting server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
