RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, in contrast to other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located inside it. Whenever an application is launched, it's stored inside the RAM, since it could be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the web hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate concurrently on a given hosting server, especially if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people simultaneously. In contrast to a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a particular account could be flexible and frequently depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one web server only and shall not be used by other customers even if it's not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory that you will get with every single VPS server which we provide is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal all of the time even if you don't use it for a long period of time. Each VPS account offers set system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from other accounts on the physical server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we shall not allot some of your memory to that account. We also never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, as a way to guarantee that it won't ever run out of memory. This way, there shall always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless operation of the physical hosting server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM that comes with every dedicated server which we offer you is large enough even for quite resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be readily available for your sites and every other software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so even when at some point you use only a fraction of the system resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the server is constructed, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you will get a flawlessly working server that can ensure the best possible efficiency for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory you have shall be listed with the full hosting server configuration specifications within your billing CP.
