RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices like harddrives or DVDs, enables the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Every time a program is started, it is stored within the RAM, since it could be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the website hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can run concurrently on a particular server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a given account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and won't be used by other clients even in case it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you opt to host your websites on a VPS server acquired from our company, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on efficient hosting servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even if you use only a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using most of its system resources, we shall not allot the free RAM from your account even briefly. That is valid when you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount shall be added to your existing account entirely. You will be able to upgrade either the entire plan or only the server’s RAM with simply a couple of mouse clicks inside the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch machine with enough RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web applications with no effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Because we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a server, we will make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the web server performs flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get will be available all the time, so even in a situation where you utilize just a part of it for a period of time, we won't alter the configuration. You'll be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, in the billing CP.
