RAM, that is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed much more quickly than a hard disk drive, as the info 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 after they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more programs you will be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to surf your sites without effect on the site’s/server’s performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, due to the fact that the data is lost once the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts may 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 hosting server, alternatively, you will have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by others even if you do not use it at a certain time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting

All our virtual private server packages feature a guaranteed amount of RAM. To put it differently, even if you use just a fraction of the system resources your plan comes with, we will not allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the exact same physical hosting server. As we create only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to secure the proper functioning of all VPS accounts even if their RAM allocation is upgraded tremendously eventually. In the event you also opt to upgrade your package or to keep the current one and to include just more memory, the new amount will also be reserved exclusively for your account. Thus, we make sure that your Internet sites will operate properly all the time no matter what the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you need a powerful hosting solution for your Internet sites and apps and you obtain one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting that we offer you, you'll have a massive amount of physical memory available all of the time. You will be able to see the hardware configuration anytime via the billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We test the memory sticks extensively along with the rest of the parts before we use them to put together any web server, so when you get one of our plans, you shall get a high-quality server which will guarantee fantastic efficiency for your Internet sites. Even when you don't use the entire capacity of the server for an extended time period, the physical memory shall still be available for your web server only.
