RAM, that refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that may be accessed faster than a hard disk drive, because the information 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 when they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more applications you will be able to run all at once and the more people will be able to explore your sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for non permanent storage purposes, since the information is lost the moment the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts can use may be limited and may change based on what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, on the other hand, you will have a set amount of RAM that will not be used by anyone else even if you don't use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

If you opt to host your sites on a virtual private server bought from our company, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available all of the time no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on efficient servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory which comes with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even when you use just a part of it at some time while another VPS account is using almost all of its resources, we'll never assign the free RAM from your account even momentarily. This is valid if you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount shall be added to your existing account permanently. You shall be able to upgrade either your entire plan or only the server’s RAM with several clicks within the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

All of our dedicated server packages come with a massive amount of physical memory, which will enable you to run rather heavy web apps with no problems. We use new and extensively tested hardware components when we install a new web server to make sure that there won't be any issues of any sort. The RAM memory is not an exception and when you get a dedicated server, we shall make sure that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration which you have picked. Even if we identify that you aren't using the full capacity of the web server, we shall not modify the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be at your disposal shall always be the same. You will be able to take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, in your billing Control Panel at any time.
