RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Whenever an app is started, it's stored inside the RAM, because it may be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can run all at once on a certain hosting server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people simultaneously. Unlike a shared web hosting package where the resources of a given account may be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allocated to one web server only and won't be used by other clients even when it is not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All our VPS server packages include a guaranteed amount of RAM. Simply put, even when you use a small fraction of the resources your package includes, we will not assign the free resources to a different VPS account on the very same physical server. Because we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have ample free memory to guarantee the proper performance of all VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded greatly at some time. In the event you also choose to upgrade your package deal or to keep the active one and to incorporate just more memory, the new amount will also be reserved exclusively for your account. In this way, we make sure that your Internet sites will perform effectively constantly whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you need a potent hosting solution for your Internet sites and apps and you purchase one of the dedicated servers that we offer, you'll have a massive amount of physical memory available all of the time. You will be able to see the hardware configuration whenever you want via the billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We try out the memory sticks diligently as well as the rest of the parts before we use them to put together any machine, so in case you get one of our solutions, you will get a high-quality server that will guarantee outstanding functionality for your websites. Even in case you do not use the whole capacity of the web server for an extended length of time, the physical memory will still be available for your hosting server exclusively.
