CPU Cores

A CPU provides the web server with the power it needs to operate your website. Larger and busier websites benefit from having more power available to them.

RAM

Temporary memory on the server into which files are stored whilst someone is viewing them. Websites with lots of, or particularly large files, will benefit from having more RAM available.

Create a stored local copy of any static files, such as images, so that they can be loaded much quicker for website users.

Redis

Temporarily store website information in server memory for fast access and loading.

Temporary storage of website files in for faster access and loading.

Databases enable fast and efficient storage and retrieval of data for web applications such as CMS, blogs, forums and ecommerce tools.
The more databases you have, the more applications you can run on your website simultaneously. Blogging tools such as WordPress require a MySQL database for example.

Database users allow administrators to connect directly to the database and manage the records that it contains.
