RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a form of computer data storage, which allows the data to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. That makes the RAM substantially faster than other sorts of storage devices such as DVDs or HDDs in which all the information has to be read in order to access specific data. In case you have a shared hosting account, the total amount of memory your web programs can use cannot be fixed and may regularly depend upon the free memory which is available on the physical machine. With a standalone web server, however, there is always a minimum amount of physical memory which will be available at all times and won't be allotted to other customers even if it's not used. This is valid with our virtual and dedicated servers.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
When you decide to host your sites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on effective web servers and when your virtual server is set up, 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 nearly all of its system resources, we'll never allot the free RAM from your account even for the short term. That is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server as well - the extra amount shall be added to your current account permanently. You'll be able to upgrade either the whole package or only the server’s RAM with only a few mouse clicks inside the billing Control Panel.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All of our dedicated server solutions include a massive amount of physical memory, which will allow you to run very heavy web applications without any difficulties. We use new and extensively tested hardware components when we install a new server to make certain that there will not be any problems of any sort. The RAM memory is not an exception and if you acquire a dedicated server, we will ensure that you get the best overall performance possible from the configuration you have picked. Even if we determine that you're not using the entire capacity of the web server, we won't modify the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM which will be available will always be the same. You can easily take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing Control Panel at any time.
