RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located inside it. Whenever an application is launched, it is stored within the RAM, because it may be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can operate at the same time on a certain web server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people all at once. Unlike a shared web hosting solution where the system resources of a particular account may be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume too, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is assigned to one web server only and won't be used by other clients even when it's not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

All of our VPS server plans feature a set amount of RAM. To put it differently, even when you use a small fraction of the system resources which your plan features, we will not allot the free resources to some other VPS account on the same physical web server. Since we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have ample free memory to ensure the appropriate performance of all the VPS accounts even if their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably eventually. In case you also decide to upgrade your package deal or to keep the latest one and to incorporate only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved only for your account. Thus, we make certain that your websites will perform correctly all of the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you need a highly effective website hosting solution for your sites and applications and you acquire one of the Linux dedicated servers that we provide you with, you shall have a massive amount of physical memory available constantly. You'll be able to look at the hardware configuration whenever you want from the billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We test the memory sticks comprehensively alongside all of the other parts before we use them to build any server, so in case you buy one of our solutions, you'll get a high-quality server which will ensure superb general performance for your sites. Even if you do not use the full capacity of the machine for an extended time period, the physical memory will still be available for your server only.
