RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Anytime a program is launched, it is stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can work at the same time on a particular server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people concurrently. Unlike a shared web hosting plan in which the resources of a certain account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is allotted to one web server only and won't be used by other clients even when it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting
All our virtual private server plans come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. Put simply, even in case you use a fraction of the system resources that your plan offers, we'll never allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the same physical web server. Since we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have sufficient free memory to secure the proper performance of all the VPS accounts even if their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably at some point. In the event you also decide to upgrade your package deal or to keep the current one and to add just more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. That way, we make certain that your Internet sites will perform correctly all of the time regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The amount of RAM that comes with each and every dedicated server that we offer you is sufficient enough even for quite resource-demanding web apps. The memory will be available for your sites and every other software which you install on the hosting server at all times, so even if at some point you use a fraction of the resources you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All of the parts are examined before the web server is built, including the RAM sticks, to guarantee that you will get a flawlessly performing machine that can ensure the best possible performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory you have shall be listed along with the full web server configuration specifications within your billing Control Panel.
