RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that could be accessed faster than a disk drive, simply because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs once they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you shall be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to explore your sites without effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for short-term storage purposes, due to the fact that the data is lost the moment the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts could use may be limited and could change according to what the other customers on the same server use. Using a virtual or a dedicated web server, alternatively, you'll have a guaranteed amount of RAM which will not be used by others even when you do not use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

All of our virtual private server solutions include a set amount of RAM. To put it differently, even when you use only a fraction of the resources your package deal includes, we shall never assign the free resources to another VPS account on the same physical server. Since we create only a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to secure the correct performance of all the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically eventually. If you also decide to upgrade your plan or to keep the latest one and to include only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. This way, we guarantee that your web sites will operate effectively all of the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

The amount of RAM included with every single dedicated server we offer you is sufficient enough even for very resource-demanding web applications. The memory will be available for your websites and any other software which you install on the web server at all times, so even when at some point you use a fraction of the system resources which you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the parts are subjected to testing before the server is built, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you'll get a flawlessly working machine that can guarantee the best possible efficiency for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory which you have shall be listed along with the full server configuration specifications within your billing CP.
