RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which can be accessed way quicker than a hard disk, due to the fact that the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web apps once they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more programs you'll be able to run at the same time and the more people shall be able to explore your websites without any effect on the site’s/server’s performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for temporary storage purposes, since the data is lost once the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory which your scripts may use may be limited and might change based on what the other customers on the same machine use. With a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you'll have a fixed amount of RAM that won't be used by anyone else even when you do not use it at a given time.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with every dedicated server that we supply is large enough even for quite resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be readily available for your Internet sites and any software which you install on the web server at all times, so even if at some point you use a fraction of the resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All the components are subjected to testing before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you'll get a flawlessly performing web server that can ensure the best possible general performance for your websites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed along with the full web server configuration specifications in your billing Control Panel.
