RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Anytime an application is started, it is stored inside the RAM, as it may be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can work simultaneously on a particular hosting server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people all at once. Not like a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a given account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used always. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even when it's not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory which you will get with each VPS server that we provide is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal all of the time even if you don't use all of it for a long stretch of time. Each and every VPS account features fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from the rest of the accounts on the physical hosting server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we won't allot some of your memory to that account. Additionally we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, to ensure that it won't ever run out of memory. That way, there'll always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless overall performance of the physical web server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you need a powerful web hosting solution for your Internet sites and programs and you get one of the dedicated servers we offer, you will have a large amount of physical memory available constantly. You'll be able to look at the hardware configuration whenever you want from your billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We try out the memory sticks thoroughly as well as the rest of the parts before we use them to build any web server, so when you get one of our packages, you will get a high-quality web server which will guarantee exceptional efficiency for your sites. Even when you don't use the total capacity of the web server for an extended time period, the physical memory will still be available for your machine only.
