RAM, that means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that could be accessed noticeably faster than a hard disk drive, due to the fact that the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs after they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more applications you will be able to run at the same time and the more people will be able to browse your Internet sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for non permanent storage purposes, due to the fact that the data is lost as soon as the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts could use may be limited and could change according to what the some other clients on the same server use. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you will have a guaranteed amount of RAM that won't be used by others even if you don't use it at a particular time.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
If you acquire a VPS server from our company, you'll have a allocated amount of RAM at your disposal constantly. We create the VPS accounts on highly effective hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so as soon as a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allotted permanently to it based on the particular features of the specific package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that does not use all of its resources to one which requires more resources, so you'll be able to use the functions of your plan at their full capacity all of the time. We create only a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make sure that it provides sufficient memory to permit all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM that their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you buy one of our dedicated server plans, you will get a top-notch machine with enough RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall performance of any of them. Since we test every single hardware component before we use it when we build a hosting server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the server runs flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get shall be available all of the time, so even in a situation where you utilize only a part of it for any given period of time, we won't modify the configuration. You'll be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, inside the billing CP.
