RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Anytime an app is started, it's stored inside the RAM, as it may be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can operate concurrently on a particular hosting server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting package where the resources of a particular account could be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume also, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use at all times. That memory is assigned to one server only and shall not be used by other customers even when it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
All of our virtual private server plans come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. Simply put, even when you use a tiny fraction of the resources that your package comes with, we will never allocate the free resources to a different VPS account on the exact same physical hosting server. Since we set up only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to secure the appropriate overall performance of all the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically eventually. In the event you also decide to upgrade your package deal or to keep the present one and to add only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved exclusively for your account. This way, we ensure that your websites will function properly at all times whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
When you acquire one of our dedicated server plans, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with enough RAM to run even several resource-demanding web programs without any effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Because we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a server, we will ensure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the machine works flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll 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 will not modify the configuration. You'll be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, in the billing Control Panel.
