RAM, which means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that may be accessed much faster than a hard disk, because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs once they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more programs you'll be able to run concurrently and the more people shall be able to look through your Internet sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for momentary storage purposes, since the info is lost once the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts are able to use may be limited and can change based on what the other customers on the same hosting server use. With a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you shall have a fixed amount of RAM that will not be used by others even when you don't use it at a certain time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

When you opt to host your Internet sites on a VPS server acquired from our company, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on efficient hosting servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory which comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even in case you use a little part of it at some time while another VPS account is using most of its system resources, we'll never assign the free RAM from your account even briefly. This is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount shall be added to your account completely. You'll be able to upgrade either the entire plan or just the server’s RAM with simply several mouse clicks through the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM that comes with each dedicated server we offer is big enough even for extremely resource-demanding web programs. The memory shall be readily available for your sites and any software which you install on the web server at all times, so if at some point you use only a fraction of the system resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the hosting server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you'll get a flawlessly working machine that can guarantee the best possible overall performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed together with the full web server configuration specifications in your billing CP.
