RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Anytime an app is started, it's stored in the RAM, because it could be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the website hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can run at the same time on a given server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a certain account may be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one server only and won't be used by other customers even if it is not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting

If you choose to host your websites on a virtual private server bought from our company, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and will be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on efficient web servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory offered with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even in case 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 if you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server as well - the extra amount will be added to your current account entirely. You will be able to upgrade either your entire package or only the server’s RAM with a few mouse clicks through the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you purchase one of our dedicated server plans, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web programs with no effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Because we test each hardware component before we use it when we construct a hosting server, we shall make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the web server performs flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get will be available all the time, so even in a situation where you employ only a part of it for any period of time, we shall never change the configuration. You'll be able to examine the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, in the billing CP.
