RAM, that is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which can be accessed considerably quicker than a hard disk drive, due to the fact that the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs once they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more applications you shall be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to surf your Internet sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for temporary storage purposes, because the data is lost once the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts are able to use may be limited and may change depending on what the some other clients on the same web server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, on the other hand, you will have a guaranteed amount of RAM that will not be used by others even if you do not use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you choose to host your Internet sites on a VPS server purchased from us, 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 set up on powerful hosting servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory which comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even when you use only a part of it at some time while another VPS account is using nearly all of its system resources, we will not allot the free RAM from your account even momentarily. That is valid if you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount shall be added to your account permanently. You shall be able to upgrade either the entire package or only the server’s RAM with simply a few mouse clicks inside the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you need a potent website hosting solution for your websites and apps and you buy one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we offer, you'll have a massive amount of physical memory available constantly. You'll be able to see the hardware configuration at any time from the billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We test out the memory sticks thoroughly alongside all of the other parts before we use them to assemble any web server, so when you purchase one of our solutions, you shall get a high-quality web server that'll guarantee outstanding functionality for your websites. Even if you don't use the whole capacity of the server for an extended period of time, the physical memory will still be available for your web server only.
