RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed much faster than a hard disk drive, because the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web apps when they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more apps you'll be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to check out your websites without any effect on the site’s/server’s functionality. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for non permanent storage purposes, as the data is lost the moment the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts can use may be limited and might change based upon what the other customers on the same machine use. With a virtual or a dedicated web server, however, you'll have a guaranteed amount of RAM which will not be used by anybody else even when you don't use it at a certain time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory which you will get with each and every VPS server that we offer is guaranteed and will be at your disposal always even if you do not use it for a long length of time. Each and every VPS account features fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from the rest of the accounts on the physical server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we will never assign some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, so as to ensure that it won't ever run out of memory. Thus, there shall always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless performance of the physical machine.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All of our dedicated server packages include a massive amount of physical memory, that will enable you to run incredibly heavy web applications without any issues. We use new and carefully tested hardware components when we build a new web server to make sure that there won't be any problems of any type. The RAM memory isn't an exception and if you order a dedicated server, we shall make sure that you get the best performance possible from the configuration you have picked. Even if we discover that you aren't using the whole capacity of the server, we shall not modify the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be available shall always be the same. You can take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, in your billing Control Panel at any time.
