RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a type of computer data storage, that enables the information to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. This makes the RAM noticeably faster than other types of storage devices such as DVDs or HDDs in which all the data ought to be read so as to access particular data. When you have a shared hosting account, the exact amount of memory which your web apps can use cannot be fixed and may sometimes depend upon the free memory that is available on the physical machine. When using a standalone hosting server, however, there is always a minimum amount of physical memory which shall be readily available at all times and will never be allocated to other clients even when it's not in use. That is valid with our virtual and dedicated servers.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory you will get with each VPS server we provide is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal always even if you don't use it for a long time period. Each and every VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from the rest of the accounts on the physical hosting server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we shall never allot some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, in order to guarantee that it won't run out of memory. Thus, there'll always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless overall performance of the physical web server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you buy one of our dedicated server plans, you shall get a top-notch web server with enough RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall performance of any one of them. Due to the fact that we test every single hardware component before we use it when we build a web server, we shall make sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the server works flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get will be available constantly, so even in a situation in which you use merely a part of it for a period of time, we will not modify the configuration. You'll be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, within the billing Control Panel.
