RAM, which is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed considerably quicker than a hard disk, due to the fact that the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a 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 will be able to run simultaneously and the more people will be able to check out your websites without effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for non permanent storage purposes, due to the fact that the information is lost as soon as the power is shut off. If you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts may use may be limited and may change based on what the other customers on the same server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated hosting server, alternatively, you will have a fixed amount of RAM which will not be used by anybody else even if you don't use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

If you opt to host your sites on a virtual private server bought from our company, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and shall be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on effective web servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory provided with the particular plan will be "locked", so even when you use only a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using almost all of its resources, we'll never allocate the free RAM from your account even for the short term. This is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount will be added to your account completely. You'll be able to upgrade either the entire package or only the server’s RAM with a few clicks inside the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you purchase one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch server with enough RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall functionality of any of them. As we test every hardware component before we use it when we set up a web server, we shall make certain that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the web server works flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get shall be available all of the time, so even in a situation in which you employ just a part of it for any given period of time, we will not change the configuration. You shall be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, within the billing CP.
