RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed much faster than a hard disk, as the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a web server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs when they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more applications you will be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to browse your 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 as soon as the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts can use may be limited and could change based upon what the other customers on the same web server use. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, however, you'll have a guaranteed amount of RAM that will not be used by anybody else even when you do not use it at a particular time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
The physical memory that you will get with every virtual private server which we offer you is guaranteed and will be readily available at all times even if you don't use it all for a long time period. Every single VPS account features fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from other accounts on the physical server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. Additionally we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, to guarantee that it will never run out of memory. That way, there will always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless performance of the physical hosting server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you need a powerful web hosting solution for your websites and applications and you buy one of the Linux dedicated hosting services that we provide, you'll have a substantial amount of physical memory available at all times. You'll be able to check out the hardware configuration whenever you want through the billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We test out the memory sticks meticulously alongside all of the other parts before we use them to build any machine, so in case you purchase one of our plans, you'll get a high-quality hosting server that'll ensure fantastic functionality for your sites. Even when you do not use the whole capacity of the hosting server for an extended stretch of time, the physical memory will still be available for your web server exclusively.
