RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Anytime an application is started, it's stored inside the RAM, as it may be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the website hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can run all at once on a given web server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people simultaneously. Unlike a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a particular account may be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is assigned to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even if it is not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

If you acquire a virtual private server from us, you'll have a guaranteed amount of RAM at your disposal at all times. We set up the VPS accounts on powerful hardware nodes with no shortage of physical memory, so once a new virtual server is created, the RAM is allotted entirely to it as per the specific features of the particular package. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that does not use all of its system resources to one that needs more resources, so you'll be able to use the characteristics of your package at their full potential at any time. We create only a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make certain that it includes enough memory to permit all the customers on it to upgrade the RAM that their machines are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you buy one of our dedicated server packages, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall performance of any of them. As we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a hosting server, we will make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks are not malfunctioning and that the machine performs flawlessly. The physical memory you will get shall be available all the time, so even in times in which you use just a part of it for a period of time, we will never alter the configuration. You'll be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, inside the billing CP.
