RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices like harddrives or DVDs, permits the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Each time an application is started, it's stored inside the RAM, as it may be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. With regards to the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can run all at once on a particular web server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people all at once. In contrast to a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a certain account may be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is assigned to one server only and will not be used by other customers even in case it's not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

When you acquire a virtual private server from us, you shall have a set amount of RAM readily available at all times. We set up the VPS accounts on highly effective hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so when a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allotted completely to it as per the exact features of the specific package. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which doesn't use all of its resources to one that needs more resources, so you will be able to use the functions of your package at their full capacity all of the time. We set up only a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we ensure that it has sufficient memory to enable all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM that their machines are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated server plans, you will get a top-notch server with enough RAM to run even several resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. As we test every hardware component before we use it when we set up a hosting server, we'll ensure that the RAM sticks are not faulty and that the hosting server runs flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get shall be available all the time, so even in a situation where you use just a part of it for any given period of time, we won't change the configuration. You will be able to examine the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, in the billing Control Panel.
