RAM, which is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed considerably faster than a hard disk, simply because the information 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 once they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more programs you will be able to run concurrently and the more people will be able to surf your sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for non permanent storage purposes, since the data is lost as soon as the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts can use may be limited and can change according to what the some other clients on the same machine use. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, alternatively, you'll have a guaranteed amount of RAM which won't be used by anybody else even if you do not use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you get a VPS server through our company, you will have a guaranteed amount of RAM available at all times. We set up the VPS accounts on highly effective hardware nodes with a lot of physical memory, so as soon as a new virtual server is created, the RAM is assigned entirely to it based on the specific features of the particular plan. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that doesn't use all of its resources to one which requires more resources, so you'll be able to use the features of your plan at their full capability at any time. We set up only several VPS accounts on a physical server and we make sure that it comes with a sufficient amount of memory to allow all the customers on it to upgrade the RAM that their servers are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with every single dedicated server that we offer is big enough even for really resource-demanding web applications. The memory shall be available for your sites and every other software that you install on the web server at all times, so even when at some point you use just a fraction of the system resources you have, we shall never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All of the parts are subjected to testing before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you'll get a flawlessly performing web server that can guarantee the best possible performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory you have will be listed along with the full web server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
