RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Whenever an app is started, it is stored inside the RAM, since it may be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regards to the web hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a particular server, especially if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a certain account can be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used always. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

The physical memory that you will get with each virtual private server we offer you is guaranteed and will be readily available all of the time even if you do not use the whole thing for a long time period. Each VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from the rest of the accounts on the physical server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we won't allocate some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, as a way to ensure that it won't run out of memory. This way, there shall always be free RAM if you want to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless operation of the physical machine.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

All of our dedicated server solutions come with a massive amount of physical memory, that'll permit you to run incredibly heavy web apps with no problems. We use new and meticulously tested hardware components when we install a new web server to make certain that there will never be any complications of any kind. The RAM memory isn't an exception and when you buy a dedicated server, we shall ensure that you get the best general performance possible from the configuration that you have picked out. Even if we determine that you're not using the total capacity of the server, we shall not alter the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that will be readily available will always be the same. You can easily look at the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing Control Panel at any time.
