RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a form of computer data storage, that allows the information to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. This makes the RAM a lot faster than other types of storage devices including DVDs or HDDs where all of the info must be read to be able to access specific information. When you have a shared hosting account, the amount of memory your web programs can use cannot be fixed and may frequently depend upon the free memory that's available on the physical server. When using a standalone hosting server, however, there's always a minimum amount of physical memory which will be available at all times and shall not be allocated to other clients even if it's not used. That's valid with our virtual and dedicated servers.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting
All our virtual private server plans include a set amount of RAM. To put it differently, even in case you use only a small fraction of the system resources your package features, we shall never allot the free resources to some other VPS account on the same physical server. As we set up only a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have plenty of free memory to guarantee the correct operation of the VPS accounts even if their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably at some point. In the event you also opt to upgrade your plan or to keep the active one and to include only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved exclusively for your account. Thus, we make certain that your websites will perform properly all of the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you acquire one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get a top-notch hosting server with enough RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web programs without any effect on the overall performance of any one of them. As we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we construct a hosting server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the machine performs flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get will be available all the time, so even in times in which you use only a part of it for any given period of time, we shall never modify the configuration. You'll be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, in the billing Control Panel.
