RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices like harddrives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Every time an app is started, it is stored in the RAM, as it may be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. In terms of the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can operate all at once on a given hosting server, particularly when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people simultaneously. Not like a shared web hosting solution in which the resources of a particular account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use always. That memory is allotted to one server only and shall not be used by other clients even when it is not used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
When you decide to host your sites on a VPS server bought from us, the amount of RAM you will get with it shall be guaranteed and shall be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on powerful web servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory offered with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even in case you use a little part of it at some point while another VPS account is using nearly all of its resources, we won't assign the free RAM from your account even temporarily. That is valid if you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server as well - the additional amount shall be added to your current account entirely. You will be able to upgrade either the whole plan or only the server’s RAM with just a couple of clicks within the billing CP.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you need a potent hosting solution for your websites and applications and you buy one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans that we provide, you'll have a large amount of physical memory available at all times. You shall be able to look at the hardware configuration anytime from your billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We test out the memory sticks diligently alongside the rest of the parts before we use them to put together any web server, so in case you order one of our solutions, you will get a high-quality server which will guarantee outstanding overall performance for your sites. Even when you do not use the full capacity of the hosting server for an extended period of time, the physical memory will still be available for your machine exclusively.
