RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, allows the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located inside it. Each time an app is started, it is stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regards to the website hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can operate at the same time on a particular hosting server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people all at once. Unlike a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a given account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use always. That memory is allotted to one web server only and will not be used by other clients even when it is not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

When you obtain a VPS server from us, you will have a guaranteed amount of RAM available all the time. We set up the VPS accounts on potent hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so when a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allocated permanently to it in line with the specific features of the selected plan. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which does not use all of its system resources to one which requires more resources, so you will be able to use the functions of your package at their full capability all of the time. We set up only a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we ensure that it has an adequate amount of memory to allow all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All our dedicated server plans come with a great deal of physical memory, which will permit you to run rather heavy web apps with no issues. We use brand new and carefully tested hardware components when we set up a new server to guarantee that there will not be any problems of any kind. The RAM memory isn't an exception and when you get a dedicated server, we will make certain that you get the best functionality possible from the configuration which you have picked out. Even if we notice that you aren't using the full capacity of the server, we shall not alter the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be available will always be the same. You may take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, in your billing Control Panel at any time.
