RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed considerably faster than a hard disk drive, as the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web applications once they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more applications you shall be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to browse your sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for non permanent storage purposes, since the data is lost as soon as the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts could use may be limited and could change depending on what the other customers on the same server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated web server, however, you will have a set amount of RAM that will not be used by others even if you do not use it at a particular time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory you will get with each and every VPS server that we offer you is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal constantly even if you do not use the whole thing for a long length of time. Each and every VPS account features fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from the rest of the accounts on the physical machine, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we won't allot some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, so as to make sure that it won't run out of memory. Thus, there'll always be free RAM if you want to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless performance of the physical web server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
If you purchase one of our dedicated server plans, you will get a top-notch hosting server with enough RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web applications with no effect on the overall efficiency of any of them. As we test each hardware component before we use it when we assemble a hosting server, we'll ensure that the RAM sticks are not malfunctioning and that the machine functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get will be available constantly, so even in times where you employ just a part of it for a period of time, we shall never modify the configuration. You will be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, inside the billing Control Panel.
