RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, permits the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located inside it. Anytime a program is launched, it is stored inside the RAM, because it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the website hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can operate all at once on a certain server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people concurrently. Different from a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a certain account may be flexible and often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use always. That memory is allocated to one web server only and will not be used by other customers even when it's not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans come with a set amount of RAM. In other words, even when you use a fraction of the resources which your plan comes with, we will not assign the free resources to a different VPS account on the exact same physical server. Due to the fact that we set up just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have plenty of free memory to ensure the adequate functioning of all VPS accounts even if their RAM allocation is upgraded substantially eventually. When you also opt to upgrade your package or to keep the present one and to include only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved just for your account. That way, we make sure that your sites will operate adequately all the time regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All our dedicated server plans come with a great deal of physical memory, that will enable you to run very heavy web applications without any problems. We use new and meticulously tested hardware components when we build a new server to guarantee that there will not be any issues of any type. The RAM memory is not an exception and when you order a dedicated server, we'll ensure that you get the best performance possible from the configuration that you have picked out. Even if we identify that you are not using the full capacity of the hosting server, we shall not alter the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be readily available shall always be the same. You will be able to check the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing Control Panel at any time.
