RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which may be accessed much faster than a hard drive, due to the fact that the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used 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 at the same time and the more people will be able to surf your sites without effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for non permanent storage purposes, because the information is lost the moment the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts can use may be limited and might change depending on what the other customers on the same server use. With a virtual or a dedicated web server, alternatively, you shall have a set amount of RAM that will not be used by anybody else even if you do not use it at a particular time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

All our virtual private server plans come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. In other words, even when you use only a tiny fraction of the resources that your plan comes with, we will not assign the free resources to a different VPS account on the same physical server. As we create only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have plenty of free memory to secure the proper performance of all the VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded greatly at some time. When you also opt to upgrade your package deal or to keep the present one and to add just more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. This way, we guarantee that your websites will perform adequately all the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web programs without any effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. As we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we set up a hosting server, we shall make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks are not defective and that the hosting server performs flawlessly. The physical memory you will get will be available constantly, so even in a situation where you utilize merely a part of it for any given period of time, we will never change the configuration. You'll be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, in the billing CP.
