RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Whenever an app is launched, it is stored in the RAM, since it could be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can work all at once on a given server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people concurrently. Unlike a shared web hosting package where the resources of a certain account can be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

When you opt to host your websites on a VPS server bought from us, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on highly effective servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory offered with the particular plan will be "locked", so even when you use only a part of it ultimately while another VPS account is using most of its resources, we'll never assign the free RAM from your account even briefly. This is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount shall be added to your existing account entirely. You'll be able to upgrade either the whole plan or only the server’s RAM with only several mouse clicks through the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All of our dedicated server plans come with a great deal of physical memory, which will enable you to run extremely heavy web apps without any issues. We use new and meticulously tested hardware components when we build a new hosting server to make certain that there will never be any troubles of any kind. The RAM memory isn't an exception and when you acquire a dedicated server, we shall ensure that you get the best performance possible from the configuration that you have chosen. Even if we find out that you're not using the whole capacity of the machine, we shall not modify the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be available will always be the same. You can easily take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing Control Panel at any time.
