RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Each time a program is started, it's stored within the RAM, since it could be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can run simultaneously on a given server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people all at once. Unlike a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a particular account can be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume also, a VPS includes 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 clients even when it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory you will get with each and every VPS server we offer is guaranteed and will be readily available at all times even when you don't use the whole thing for a long time period. Every VPS account features set system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from all of the other accounts on the physical server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we shall never allocate some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, in order to ensure that it won't ever run out of memory. In this way, there will always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless performance of the physical server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with each and every dedicated server that we supply is sufficient enough even for very resource-demanding web applications. The memory will be available for your websites and any software you install on the hosting server at all times, so even if at some point you use a fraction of the resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All the parts are subjected to testing before the web server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you'll get a flawlessly functioning machine that will guarantee the best possible overall performance for your websites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed along with the full web server configuration specifications in your billing Control Panel.
