RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which is accessed much more quickly than a disk drive, simply because the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web apps when they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more programs you will be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to surf your Internet sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for temporary storage purposes, since the information is lost the moment 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 may change depending on what the other customers on the same machine use. Through a virtual or a dedicated web server, alternatively, you will have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by others even when you don't use it at a certain time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory that you will get with each VPS server that we offer you is guaranteed and will be available consistently even when you don't use the whole thing for a long time period. Every VPS account offers you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from all the other accounts on the physical server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we will never assign some of your memory to that account. Additionally we never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, so as to guarantee that it won't ever run out of memory. In this way, there shall always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless operation of the physical server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All of our dedicated server plans feature a great deal of physical memory, which will enable you to run incredibly heavy web apps without any problems. We use brand new and extensively tested hardware components when we install a new hosting server to make certain that there will never be any problems of any kind. The RAM memory is not an exception and when you purchase a dedicated server, we'll make certain that you get the best overall performance possible from the configuration you have picked. Even if we find out that you aren't using the whole capacity of the machine, we will not modify the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be available will always be the same. You can check the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing Control Panel at any time.
