RAM, that means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which can be accessed much faster than a hard disk drive, because the data 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 once they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more applications you'll be able to run concurrently and the more people shall be able to browse 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, because the data is lost when the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts are able to use may be limited and can change based on what the other customers on the same machine use. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, however, you will have a fixed amount of RAM which won't be used by others even if you do not use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory you will get with each VPS server that we offer is guaranteed and will be available always even when you don't use it all for a long length of time. Every single VPS account offers you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from other accounts on the physical web server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, so as to make sure that it won't ever run out of memory. In this way, there will always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless overall performance of the physical machine.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you acquire one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch hosting server with enough RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web applications with no effect on the overall performance of any one of them. Since we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a hosting server, we shall ensure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the web server runs flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get shall be available all the time, so even in times in which you use merely a part of it for any given period of time, we won't alter the configuration. You'll be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, inside the billing Control Panel.
