RAM, that refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which may be accessed much faster than a hard drive, as the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web applications when they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more apps you'll be able to run concurrently and the more people will be able to look through your Internet sites without 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, because the info is lost as soon as the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts could use may be limited and might change depending on what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, 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 Servers

If you opt to host your sites on a VPS server bought from our company, the amount of RAM that you will get with it shall be guaranteed and shall be available all of the time no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on efficient hosting servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory offered with the particular plan will be "locked", so even in case you use only a part of it ultimately while another VPS account is using virtually all of its resources, we will not assign the free RAM from your account even for the short term. This is valid if you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount shall be added to your current account entirely. You shall be able to upgrade either the whole package or just the server’s RAM with only a couple of mouse clicks through the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you buy one of our dedicated server packages, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Because we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a web server, we'll make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the web server functions flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get will be available at all times, so even in times where you employ just a part of it for a period of time, we will not modify the configuration. You will be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, inside the billing Control Panel.
