Memory is one of the measures on how much space you have on your website hosting. The other measure of space is referred to as storage. Memory focuses on keeping short-term data. As a result, most website hosting packages allocate less space to memory than storage. Data that is kept in memory include:
- Website content that is currently being edited (e.g. draft pages of your website)
- Data on your users in the form of cookies
As Memory stores the data on your users, it is important to gauge the amount of traffic you get on your site. If you have a well-established user base and know that your website has a lot of visitors, memory is an important feature to consider when you are choosing your hosting package. Having sufficient levels of memory is crucial for your website performing at its best without slowing down.
