High RAM market looks emptier at least according to what I saw here.
Frequently people suggest to look at digital ocean's memory-optimized droplets, but there are seekers who need less other resources than DO offers (less CPU, storage, bandwidth) - they mostly want just RAM.
Both terms are ambiguous.
"High memory" needs to be defined as CPU:RAM ratio.
We think 1:16 ratio (16GB per dedicated core) can be reasonably called "high memory".
Smallest plan would be 1 core 25% persistent usage with 4GB RAM.
"High storage" needs to be distinguished between the storage device type.
HDD is for backups.
HDD capacity starts with 500GB and goes up to 16000GB.
CPU/RAM doesn't matter.
NVMe is for compute and useful for E-commerce websites.
NVMe capacity starts at 100GB and goes up to 1000GB.
CPU:RAM ratio still matters, and you need high frequency single-core performance to execute the inefficient PHP scripts.
