RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as harddrives or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located inside it. Every time an app is started, it's stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can work at the same time on a given hosting server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people at the same time. Unlike a shared web hosting plan in which the resources of a particular account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and shall not be used by other customers even when it is not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory that you will get with each and every VPS server that we provide is guaranteed and will be at your disposal consistently even when you do not use it for a long length of time. Each and every VPS account provides set system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from the rest of the accounts on the physical hosting server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we shall not allot some of your memory to that account. Additionally we never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, in order to ensure that it won't run out of memory. In this way, there shall always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless functioning of the physical web server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with every dedicated server we supply is big enough even for extremely resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be readily available for your sites and any software that you install on the web server at all times, so even if at some point you use a fraction of the resources which you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All of the components are tested before the web server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you'll get a flawlessly operating hosting server that will guarantee the best possible overall performance for your websites. The amount of physical memory which you have shall be listed together with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing Control Panel.
