RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which can be accessed considerably quicker than a hard drive, due to the fact that the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web applications after they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more applications you shall be able to run simultaneously and the more people will be able to surf your websites without effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for temporary storage purposes, since 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 could change according to what the other customers on the same web server use. With a virtual or a dedicated server, alternatively, you shall have a fixed amount of RAM which won't be used by anyone else even when you don't use it at a certain time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting

If you obtain a virtual private server from us, you shall have a allocated amount of RAM available always. We set up the VPS accounts on powerful hardware nodes with a lot of physical memory, so as soon as a new virtual server is created, the RAM is assigned completely to it in line with the specific features of the specific plan. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which does not use all of its resources to one that needs more resources, so you shall be able to use the features of your plan at their full capability at any time. We set up only a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make sure that it comes with sufficient memory to enable all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM that their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting

The amount of RAM that comes with each and every dedicated server which we supply is sufficient enough even for quite resource-demanding web programs. The memory shall be available for your websites and all other software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so if at some point you use a fraction of the resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All the parts are subjected to testing before the machine is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you'll get a flawlessly performing server that will ensure the best possible efficiency for your sites. The amount of physical memory which you have will be listed along with the full hosting server configuration specifications within your billing Control Panel.
