RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved in it. Anytime an application is started, it's stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it may be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can work all at once on a particular web server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people all at once. Unlike a shared web hosting package where the resources of a certain account could be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume also, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use always. That memory is assigned to one hosting server only and won't be used by other customers even when it's not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

The physical memory you will get with each virtual private server that we offer you is guaranteed and will be available all of the time even if you don't use the whole thing for a long length of time. Each and every VPS account features fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from all the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we will never allocate some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, as a way to guarantee that it won't run out of memory. That way, there shall always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless overall performance of the physical server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

If you acquire one of our dedicated server packages, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even several resource-demanding web applications with no effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. Due to the fact that we test each hardware component before we use it when we build a web server, we will ensure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the web server performs flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get will be available at all times, so even in a situation where you utilize just a part of it for any given period of time, we won't alter the configuration. You shall be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, in the billing CP.
