RAM, that means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed much faster than a hard disk drive, because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web apps after they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more applications 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 functionality. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for momentary storage purposes, due to the fact that the information is lost once the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts may use may be limited and may change based upon what the some other clients on the same machine use. Using a virtual or a dedicated web server, on the other hand, you'll have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by anyone else even if you do not use it at a certain time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory you will get with each and every VPS server we offer is guaranteed and shall be readily available at all times even if you do not use it for a long stretch of time. Each VPS account provides set system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from all the other accounts on the physical machine, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we shall not allot some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, in order to make sure that it will never run out of memory. That way, there shall always be free RAM if you want to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless functioning of the physical hosting server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch hosting server with enough RAM to run even several resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Due to the fact that we test every single hardware component before we use it when we construct a web server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the server functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get will be available all the time, so even in a situation in which you use just a part of it for any period of time, we shall never change the configuration. You'll be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, inside the billing CP.
