RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a form of computer data storage, which allows the information to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. That makes the RAM significantly faster than other types of storage devices like DVDs or HDDs in which all of the data needs to be read so as to access certain info. In case you have a shared hosting account, the total amount of memory your web programs can use may not be fixed and may often be determined by the free memory which is available on the physical machine. When using a standalone server, however, there's always a minimum amount of physical memory which shall be available at all times and shall not be allocated to other clients even when it is not used. This is valid with our virtual and dedicated hosting servers.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
If you obtain a virtual private server through us, you'll have a allocated amount of RAM readily available at all times. We create the VPS accounts on highly effective hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so once a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allocated permanently to it based on the exact features of the specific plan. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which does not use all of its system resources to one that needs more resources, so you'll be able to use the characteristics of your plan at their full potential at any time. We create only several VPS accounts on a physical server and we ensure that it includes sufficient memory to permit all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM their machines are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
If you get one of our dedicated server packages, you shall get a top-notch web server with enough RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall performance of any one of them. Since we test each hardware component before we use it when we construct a web server, we shall make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the machine works flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get shall be available all the time, so even in a situation in which you employ only a part of it for any given period of time, we will never modify the configuration. You will be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, within the billing Control Panel.
