RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Whenever an application is started, it's stored in the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. With regard to the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can operate all at once on a particular hosting server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people all at once. Not like a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a given account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is allocated to one web server only and will not be used by other clients even if it's not used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
All our virtual private server packages include a set amount of RAM. Simply put, even when you use a tiny fraction of the system resources that your plan offers, we'll never allot the free resources to a different VPS account on the same physical web server. Because we set up only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have plenty of free memory to ensure the appropriate performance of all VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably at some time. In case you also choose to upgrade your package or to keep the active one and to incorporate only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved exclusively for your account. In this way, we make certain that your Internet sites will function effectively all of the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
The amount of RAM that comes with every single dedicated server which we supply is sufficient enough even for really resource-demanding web apps. The memory shall be readily available for your Internet sites and any software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so if at some point you use only a fraction of the system resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All of the parts are examined before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you shall get a flawlessly working web server that can ensure the best possible performance for your websites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed with the full web server configuration specifications in your billing CP.
