RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices including hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored inside it. Anytime a program is started, it's stored within the RAM, as it could be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can run simultaneously on a given server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people all at once. In contrast to a shared web hosting solution in which the system resources of a given account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used always. That memory is assigned to one web server only and will not be used by other customers even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

When you decide to host your websites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM that you will get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available constantly no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on efficient web servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory which comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even when you use a little part of it at some time while another VPS account is using nearly all of its resources, we will not allocate the free RAM from your account even momentarily. This is valid if you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server as well - the additional amount shall be added to your existing account fully. You shall be able to upgrade either your entire plan or just the server’s RAM with just a couple of clicks in the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM included with each and every dedicated server we supply is sufficient enough even for really resource-demanding web programs. The memory shall be available for your Internet sites and any other software which you install on the hosting server at all times, so if at some point you use a fraction of the system resources that you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the web server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you will get a flawlessly performing hosting server that will ensure the best possible overall performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory that you have shall be listed along with the full hosting server configuration specifications in your billing Control Panel.
