RAM, that refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that can be accessed way quicker than a hard disk drive, because the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs after they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you will be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to browse your sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for short-term storage purposes, due to the fact that the info is lost when the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts can use may be limited and may change according to what the some other clients on the same web server use. With a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, alternatively, you'll have a fixed amount of RAM which will not be used by anyone else even if you do not use it at a particular time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

When you choose to host your sites on a virtual private server purchased from our company, the amount of RAM you will get with it shall be guaranteed and shall be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on powerful hosting servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory offered with the particular plan will be "locked", so even when you use a little part of it at some time while another VPS account is using virtually all of its system resources, we won't assign the free RAM from your account even temporarily. This is valid if you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount will be added to your existing account fully. You shall be able to upgrade either your entire plan or only the server’s RAM with several clicks within the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even several resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall performance of any of them. Since we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we build a server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the machine works flawlessly. The physical memory you will get shall be available at all times, so even in times in which you employ just a part of it for a period of time, we will not alter the configuration. You'll be able to examine the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, inside the billing CP.
