RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, in contrast to other storage devices such as harddrives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Anytime a program is launched, it is stored within the RAM, since it can be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can operate concurrently on a certain server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people simultaneously. Unlike a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a particular account could be flexible and often depend on what other users consume also, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used always. That memory is assigned to one web server only and won't be used by other clients even when it's not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

When you decide to host your Internet sites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on highly effective web servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even if you use a part of it at some point while another VPS account is using virtually all of its resources, we shall not allocate the free RAM from your account even for the short term. That is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server as well - the additional amount will be added to your existing account permanently. You shall be able to upgrade either the entire plan or just the server’s RAM with several mouse clicks inside the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

If you need a powerful hosting solution for your websites and programs and you buy one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans that we offer you, you will have a massive amount of physical memory available all the time. You will be able to check out the hardware configuration anytime through the billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We test out the memory sticks thoroughly along with all the other parts before we use them to assemble any hosting server, so when you purchase one of our solutions, you will get a high-quality hosting server which will ensure remarkable overall performance for your sites. Even in case you do not use the full capacity of the machine for an extended length of time, the physical memory will still be available for your server exclusively.
