RAM, which refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which can be accessed much quicker than a hard disk drive, because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs once they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you'll be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to check out your Internet sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s functionality. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for momentary storage purposes, since the information is lost as soon as the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts are able to use may be limited and may change based on what the some other clients on the same web server use. Through 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 when you don't use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
When you choose to host your websites on a virtual private server purchased from us, the amount of RAM which you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and shall be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on effective web servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory offered with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even when you use only a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using most of its resources, we will not assign the free RAM from your account even for the short term. That is valid when you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount shall be added to your existing account completely. You will be able to upgrade either your entire plan or just the server’s RAM with a couple of mouse clicks within the billing CP.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
The amount of RAM included with each dedicated server that we offer is big enough even for really resource-demanding web applications. The memory shall be readily available for your websites and any other software which you install on the server at all times, so even when 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 components are tested before the hosting server is constructed, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you will get a flawlessly performing machine that can guarantee the best possible performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory which you have will be listed with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing Control Panel.
