RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Whenever a program is started, it's stored within the RAM, because it may be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can work concurrently on a particular hosting server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people all at once. In contrast to a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a particular account may be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one server only and won't be used by other clients even if it's not used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
All of our virtual private server solutions feature a set amount of RAM. Simply put, even when you use only a tiny fraction of the resources which your plan offers, we will never allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the very same physical hosting server. Since we set up only a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have ample free memory to ensure the proper operation of all the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably at some point. When you also opt to upgrade your package deal or to keep the active one and to add only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved just for your account. Thus, we guarantee that your sites will operate effectively constantly regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
The amount of RAM that comes with each dedicated server which we provide is sufficient enough even for really resource-demanding web apps. The memory shall be available for your Internet sites and any other software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so if at some point you use a fraction of the system resources which you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the parts are tested before the server is built, including the RAM sticks, to guarantee that you'll get a flawlessly functioning machine that will guarantee the best possible efficiency for your websites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed with the full web server configuration specifications in your billing Control Panel.
