RAM, which is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which is accessed noticeably faster than a disk drive, 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 employed to load scripts and web programs when they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more programs you will be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to check out your Internet sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for momentary storage purposes, due to the fact that the data is lost when the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts are able to use may be limited and can change depending on what the other customers on the same machine use. With a virtual or a dedicated web server, however, you shall have a fixed amount of RAM that won't be used by others even when you do not use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All of our dedicated server plans include a massive amount of physical memory, that will enable you to run rather heavy web applications with no difficulties. We use brand new and extensively tested hardware components when we set up a new hosting server to ensure that there will never be any issues of any type. The RAM memory isn't an exception and if you get a dedicated server, we will make sure that you get the best performance possible from the configuration you have selected. Even if we determine that you aren't using the total capacity of the machine, we shall not modify the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be available shall always be the same. You may look at the configuration, including the physical memory, in your billing Control Panel at any time.
