RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Every time an app is launched, it's stored in the RAM, because it may be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can work all at once on a certain server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. Unlike a shared web hosting package in which the resources of a given account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and will not be used by other clients even when it is not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting

The physical memory that you will get with each virtual private server which we offer is guaranteed and will be available consistently even when you do not use all of it for a long period of time. Every VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from all of the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we shall never allocate some of your memory to that account. Also 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 will not run out of memory. In this way, there shall always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless operation of the physical server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting

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