RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Each time an app is started, it's stored in the RAM, since it can be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can operate all at once on a certain hosting server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. Different from a shared web hosting plan in which the system resources of a given account may be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use always. That memory is assigned to one web server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it's not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

All of our VPS server packages come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. Simply put, even when you use a tiny fraction of the system resources which your package deal comes with, we shall never allocate the free resources to a different VPS account on the exact same physical web server. As we create only several virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will have ample free memory to secure the correct functioning of all the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded significantly at some point. In the event you also opt to upgrade your package or to keep the active one and to add only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved exclusively for your account. In this way, we ensure that your websites will perform properly constantly whatever the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All of our dedicated server plans include a large amount of physical memory, that'll enable you to run rather heavy web applications without any problems. We use new and thoroughly tested hardware components when we install a new hosting server to ensure that there will not be any issues of any type. The RAM memory isn't an exception and if you obtain a dedicated server, we will ensure that you get the best functionality possible from the configuration which you have chosen. Even if we notice that you aren't using the whole capacity of the machine, we will never modify the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be readily available will always be the same. You can check the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing Control Panel at any time.
