RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, permits the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved inside it. Every time an application is launched, it is stored inside the RAM, as 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 run simultaneously on a particular web server, especially if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people simultaneously. Not like a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a given account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other users consume also, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used always. That memory is allotted to one web server only and won't be used by other customers even in case it is not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory which you will get with each and every VPS server which we offer is guaranteed and will be readily available consistently even if you do not use the whole thing for a long length of time. Every single VPS account offers you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. We also never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, in order to guarantee that it will never run out of memory. This way, there shall always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless performance of the physical hosting server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All of our dedicated server solutions feature a great deal of physical memory, that'll enable you to run rather heavy web apps with no challenges. We use brand-new and carefully tested hardware components when we set up a new server to ensure that there will not be any problems of any type. The RAM memory is not an exception and if you order a dedicated server, we will make certain that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration you have picked. Even if we notice that you aren't using the entire capacity of the machine, we won't alter the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be readily available will always be the same. You can take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing CP at any time.
