Is there any side-effects of flushing the memory in server side?
Can somebody give me some info about that?

Dont think there is any. However, if you really need to do it often, you may consider increasing the RAM!

RAM memory flush won't cause any server side problem, if the RAM memory is stuck in the RAM cache then you have to upgrade the RAM memory or required the cron to flush the RAM cache else your server won't load site properly and you will face the slow loading speed. Its depend on you which option you would like to prefer ....

The only side effect with RAM flushing is you will see a huge I/O spike and very slow server till everything is cached again.

Hope, there is no other effects by flushing the ram memory.. Instead it increases the speed of your computer

What method would you be using to "flush" the RAM? I'm assuming this must be a Windows server you're speaking of...the better question is, is there a reason to flush the RAM?

Why do you want to flush the RAM?

Are you using a host within a shared environment or do you have your own vps/dedi?

There should be no issues.
