RAM on shared hosting? This is the same bs like double bandwidth.
I don't think so: to process your PHP scripts, you need RAM. You want to be sure to be able to use enough RAM for your traffic (enough concurrent PHP processes...) unless you cache heavily (but some sites can't do that). Database caches matters as well. Not sure what usage they count in these 4GB, and how, but it's not necessarily marketing / BS.
What makes me curious is their nginx setup, if there is some interesting modules (to make cache purge possible and easy for example) their shared hosting setup can probably handle a huge traffic.
Could be referring to memory-per-process limits in PHP, though 4Gb sounds a bit high for that in a shared environment (a bad account could easily memory starve everyone else).

and so on.
FWIW, I recall the memory limit per process to be 512 MB for this plan. I think netcup has their own panel so you probably don't really know how they limit resources, but you probably can't go wrong with netcup.
they use plesk. kind of integrated/branded, but plesk.
hetzner is better.
