RAM, that refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that can be accessed much faster than a disk drive, simply because the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a web server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs after they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more programs you'll be able to run concurrently and the more people will be able to check out your sites without effect on the site’s/server’s functionality. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, due to the fact that the data is lost when 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 may change based on what the some other clients on the same web 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 anybody else even when you do not use it at a certain time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory that you will get with each VPS server that we offer you is guaranteed and shall be available always even if you don't use the whole thing for a long stretch of time. Every VPS account offers fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from all of the other accounts on the physical machine, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, in order to ensure that it will not run out of memory. That way, there shall always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless performance of the physical web server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you need a highly effective hosting solution for your sites and programs and you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we offer you, you shall have a substantial amount of physical memory available all the time. You will be able to see the hardware configuration anytime from the billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We try out the memory sticks meticulously along with the rest of the parts before we use them to put together any machine, so when you purchase one of our solutions, you will get a high-quality server that will guarantee exceptional overall performance for your sites. Even when you don't use the full capacity of the web server for an extended stretch of time, the physical memory shall still be available for your server only.
