RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices like harddrives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored inside it. Each time an application is started, it is stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can work concurrently on a given web server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. In contrast to a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a certain account could be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is assigned to one server only and will not be used by other customers even if it's not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
The physical memory you will get with each and every virtual private server that we offer is guaranteed and will be available constantly even if you do not use it for a long time period. Every VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from all of the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, as a way to make sure that it won't ever run out of memory. Thus, there will always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless overall performance of the physical web server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
When you get one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get a top-notch web server with enough RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web applications without any effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Because we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a server, we'll ensure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the hosting server performs flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get will be available constantly, so even in times in which you utilize just a part of it for any period of time, we won't modify the configuration. You shall be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, inside the billing Control Panel.
