RAM, that is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that may be accessed considerably faster than a disk drive, simply because the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web applications once they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more programs you shall be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to surf your websites with no effect on the site’s/server’s overall performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for momentary storage purposes, since the info is lost the moment the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts may use may be limited and could change based upon what the some other clients on the same web server use. With a virtual or a dedicated web server, alternatively, you shall have a fixed 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 Hosting
The physical memory which you will get with each and every virtual private server that we provide is guaranteed and shall be available constantly even if you don't use all of it for a long length of time. Every single VPS account gives you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from all the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we shall not allot some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, as a way to ensure that it will not run out of memory. That way, there shall always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless performance of the physical hosting server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
The amount of RAM included with each dedicated server we offer you is big enough even for quite resource-demanding web applications. The memory shall be available for your Internet sites and all other software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so if at some point you use just a fraction of the system resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the components are tested before the machine is constructed, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you'll get a flawlessly operating machine that will ensure the best possible general performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed with the full hosting server configuration specifications within your billing Control Panel.
