RAM, which means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed noticeably faster than a hard drive, simply because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs when they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you will be able to run at the same time and the more people will be able to browse your sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, because the information is lost once the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts could use may be limited and may change depending on what the some other clients on the same server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated web server, alternatively, you will have a fixed amount of RAM that won't be used by anyone 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 every VPS server we offer is guaranteed and will be at your disposal consistently even if you do not use it for a long time period. Each and every VPS account gives you set system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from all of the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. Additionally we never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, as a way to ensure that it will never run out of memory. In this way, there shall always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless functioning of the physical server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM that comes with every single dedicated server that we provide is big enough even for very resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be readily available for your sites and any software that you install on the server at all times, so even when at some point you use merely a fraction of the system resources you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All the parts are subjected to testing before the machine is constructed, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you will get a flawlessly operating server that can ensure the best possible general performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory which you have shall be listed together with the full server configuration specifications in your billing CP.
