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 in it. Whenever an app is launched, it is stored in the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media. With regard to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can work at the same time on a certain hosting server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people all at once. Different from a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a certain account can be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one server only and will not be used by other clients even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

When you get a virtual private server from us, you will have a allocated amount of RAM at your disposal constantly. We set up the VPS accounts on effective hardware nodes with no shortage of physical memory, so the moment a new virtual server is created, the RAM is assigned permanently to it based on the exact features of the particular plan. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that does not use all of its system resources to one which requires more resources, so you'll be able to use the features of your package at their full capacity at any time. We set up only several VPS accounts on a physical server and we ensure that it comes with an adequate amount of memory to allow all the customers on it to upgrade the RAM that their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

If you purchase one of our dedicated server plans, you will get a top-notch server with sufficient RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Because we test every hardware component before we use it when we construct a server, we shall make sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the web server works flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get shall be available all of the time, so even in a situation where you employ just a part of it for any period of time, we will never change the configuration. You shall be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, inside the billing CP.
