Does it matter what kind of ram you get for shared hosting

Hi there. Is there any huge difference between what kind of ram you put in your server? DDR3 1600MHz vs DDR4 2666MHz for an example. The reason I am wondering is because the price difference is like 1.5x

I know that there are differences but, in your opinion are they worth it?

    Does your motherboard support both DDR3 and DDR4? If not then don't worry about it, base your build off the CPU and not the RAM type. As long as you get ECC RAM you'll be fine for hosting.

    How do I know:

    Less Clients on Server | 2x Less Clients Per Server | 3x Less Clients Per Server?

    Yes of course, always ECC. It is just that currently I am using DDR4, but I found a CPU that is quite good for the pricing, but it only takes DDR3 and Up to 1600mhz.

  • for production, ECC should be more of an advantage.

    RAM speed has very little impact on shared hosting environments. Your focus should be on more CPU cores and RAM over faster CPU and RAM.

    It's a CPanel thing often blindly followed to 'fix' things.
