RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Each time a program is started, it's stored in the RAM, since it may be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. In terms of the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can run simultaneously on a given hosting server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people all at once. Different from a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a particular account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one web server only and will not be used by other clients even if it's not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory you will get with each and every VPS server we provide is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal consistently even when you don't use the whole thing for a long time period. Every VPS account offers fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from all of the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we shall not 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 will always be free RAM if you want to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless overall performance of the physical web server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get a top-notch web server with enough RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web programs without any effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. As we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we construct a hosting server, we shall make certain that the RAM sticks are not faulty and that the hosting server functions flawlessly. The physical memory you will get will be available at all times, so even in a situation where you utilize just a part of it for a period of time, we will never alter the configuration. You will be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, in the billing CP.
