RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved in it. Whenever a program is started, it's stored inside the RAM, because it could be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media. With regards to the website hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can run at the same time on a certain hosting server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people simultaneously. Unlike a shared web hosting solution where the system resources of a particular account may be flexible and often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one web server only and will not be used by other customers even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

When you decide to host your websites on a virtual private server acquired from our company, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on highly effective servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even if you use just a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using nearly all of its system resources, we will not allocate the free RAM from your account even briefly. That is valid if you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount shall be added to your account completely. You'll be able to upgrade either the whole plan or just the server’s RAM with a few mouse clicks through the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you acquire one of our dedicated server solutions, you will get a top-notch machine with enough RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web applications with no effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Because we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we set up a hosting server, we shall make sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the web server functions flawlessly. The physical memory you will get shall be available constantly, so even in times in which you utilize only a part of it for a period of time, we will not modify the configuration. You will be able to examine the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, in the billing CP.
