RAM, which means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed considerably quicker than a hard drive, as 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 apps when they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more programs you shall be able to run at the same time and the more people shall be able to browse your websites without effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for temporary storage purposes, because the data is lost once the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts are able to use may be limited and may change depending on what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. Using a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, on the other hand, you shall have a guaranteed amount of RAM which won't be used by anybody else even when you don't use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

All our VPS server packages come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. To paraphrase, even if you use just a tiny fraction of the resources your package comes with, we'll never allot the free resources to some other VPS account on the very same physical server. Because we create only a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have plenty of free memory to ensure the correct operation of the VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded greatly at some time. In case you also decide to upgrade your plan or to keep the present one and to include only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved just for your account. That way, we guarantee that your websites will operate properly all of the time regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

If you buy one of our dedicated server plans, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall performance of any one of them. Due to the fact that we test every single hardware component before we use it when we construct a hosting server, we'll ensure that the RAM sticks are not faulty and that the machine performs flawlessly. The physical memory you will get will be available all the time, so even in times in which you use merely a part of it for any period of time, we will never modify the configuration. You will be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, within the billing CP.
