RAM, that is short for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that can be accessed much quicker than a hard disk drive, simply because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info 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 applications you will be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to explore your websites with no effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for momentary storage purposes, because the data is lost when the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts may use may be limited and may change based on what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. Using a virtual or a dedicated web server, on the other hand, you will have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by anybody else even when you do not use it at a given time.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you purchase one of our dedicated server packages, you shall get a top-notch server with enough RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Since we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we construct a server, we'll ensure that the RAM sticks are not defective and that the hosting server functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get shall be available constantly, so even in a situation where you employ just a part of it for any given period of time, we shall never change the configuration. You shall be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, in the billing Control Panel.
