RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed much more quickly 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 web server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs after they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more apps you'll be able to run at the same time and the more people will be able to surf your Internet sites without effect on the site’s/server’s functionality. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, as the info is lost as soon as 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 might change according to what the other customers on the same machine use. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, alternatively, you will have a fixed amount of RAM which won't be used by anybody else even if you don't use it at a particular time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

The physical memory that you will get with each and every virtual private server we offer is guaranteed and shall be readily available always even if you do not use it all for a long length of time. Each VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from the rest of the accounts on the physical hosting server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we will never allot some of your memory to that account. We also never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, to guarantee that it won't run out of memory. That way, there shall always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless operation of the physical web server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you acquire one of our dedicated server packages, you shall get a top-notch server with sufficient RAM to run even several resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. Because we test each hardware component before we use it when we assemble a server, we shall make sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the hosting server functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get shall be available at all times, so even in times where you employ only a part of it for any given period of time, we will never modify the configuration. You'll be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, inside the billing Control Panel.
