RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as harddrives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Anytime an app is started, it is stored within the RAM, since it can be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the web hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can work at the same time on a particular server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. Not like a shared web hosting package where the resources of a given account can be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allocated to one web server only and will not be used by other clients even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you acquire a VPS server from our company, you shall have a allocated amount of RAM readily available always. We create the VPS accounts on powerful hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so when a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is assigned entirely to it as per the particular features of the particular package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that doesn't use all of its resources to one that requires more resources, so you'll be able to use the features of your plan at their full capacity at any time. We set up just a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make certain that it provides enough memory to enable all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM which their machines are using without affecting the other accounts.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with every dedicated server we offer is large enough even for really resource-demanding web apps. The memory will be readily available for your Internet sites and all other software that you install on the web server at all times, so even if at some point you use just a fraction of the resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to guarantee that you'll get a flawlessly functioning web server that can ensure the best possible general performance for your websites. The amount of physical memory that you have will be listed together with the full server configuration specifications within your billing CP.
