RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Every time an app is started, it is stored inside the RAM, because it can be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can run concurrently on a particular hosting server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people all at once. Not like a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a given account can be flexible and frequently depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is allotted to one web server only and will not be used by other customers even if it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
All our virtual private server plans come with a set amount of RAM. Put simply, even if you use just a small fraction of the resources your plan offers, we will never assign the free resources to a different VPS account on the exact same physical web server. Since we set up just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter shall always have sufficient free memory to secure the appropriate overall performance of the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded tremendously eventually. In the event you also opt to upgrade your package or to keep the active one and to incorporate just more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. In this way, we make sure that your websites will operate correctly at all times regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you get one of our dedicated server plans, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web programs without any effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Since we test every single hardware component before we use it when we assemble a server, we will ensure that the RAM sticks are not defective and that the hosting server functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get will be available all the time, so even in a situation where you utilize only a part of it for any period of time, we shall never alter the configuration. You shall be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, within the billing Control Panel.
