RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, permits the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Each time an application is launched, it's stored in the RAM, because it could be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate concurrently on a certain server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people all at once. Different from a shared web hosting plan in which the system resources of a given account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and shall not be used by other customers even when it is not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you acquire a VPS server from us, you'll have a set amount of RAM readily available always. We create the VPS accounts on powerful hardware nodes with no shortage of physical memory, so the moment a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is assigned completely to it based on the particular features of the specific package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that doesn't use all of its system resources to one which requires more resources, so you will be able to use the features of your plan at their full potential at any time. We set up just a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make certain that it comes with sufficient memory to permit all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM their hosting servers are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM that comes with every single dedicated server that we provide is large enough even for really resource-demanding web programs. The memory shall be available for your sites and any software you install on the hosting server at all times, so if at some point you use just a fraction of the resources you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All of the parts are tested before the server is constructed, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you shall get a flawlessly functioning web server that can guarantee the best possible general performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed along with the full web server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
