RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed much faster than a hard disk, due to the fact that the information 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 after they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more applications you will be able to run all at once and the more people will be able to surf your websites with no effect on the site’s/server’s functionality. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for short-term 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 which your scripts may use may be limited and could change according to what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. With a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, on the other hand, you shall have a set amount of RAM which will not be used by anybody else even when you do not use it at a certain time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
If you choose to host your Internet sites on a VPS server bought from our company, the amount of RAM which you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available constantly no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on efficient servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory included with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even in case you use just a part of it at some point while another VPS account is using almost all of its system resources, we'll never assign the free RAM from your account even temporarily. This is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server as well - the extra amount will be added to your account permanently. You shall be able to upgrade either the whole plan or only the server’s RAM with just several clicks inside the billing Control Panel.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of our dedicated server packages, you will get a top-notch web server with sufficient RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web programs with no effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. Since we test every hardware component before we use it when we construct a hosting server, we will make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the server works flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get will be available all of the time, so even in a situation where you utilize just a part of it for a period of time, we will never modify the configuration. You will be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, in the billing CP.
