RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored inside it. Anytime an application is launched, it is stored in the RAM, because it can be accessed much more quickly 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 simultaneously on a given web server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting plan in which the resources of a given account can be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is assigned to one hosting server only and will not be used by other clients even when it is not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
All of our VPS server solutions come with a set amount of RAM. To paraphrase, even when you use a tiny fraction of the resources that your plan offers, we will never allocate the free resources to some other VPS account on the very same physical server. As we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have sufficient free memory to secure the adequate operation of all VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically at some point. If you also opt to upgrade your package or to keep the current one and to add only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved only for your account. That way, we make sure that your Internet sites will function correctly all of the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All our dedicated server packages feature a large amount of physical memory, that will allow you to run really heavy web applications without any challenges. We use brand-new and thoroughly tested hardware components when we set up a new web server to guarantee that there will never be any complications of any sort. The RAM memory is not an exception and if you acquire a dedicated server, we shall make sure that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration that you have picked out. Even if we find out that you're not using the whole capacity of the web server, we shall not modify the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be available will always be the same. You are able to look at the configuration, including the physical memory, within your billing Control Panel at any time.
