RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, allows the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Whenever an application is launched, it is stored in the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can run at the same time on a particular hosting server, particularly if they are 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 can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used at all times. That memory is allocated to one server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
The physical memory that you will get with every virtual private server that we provide is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal always even when you don't use the whole thing for a long period of time. Each VPS account offers set system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from all the other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we will never allot some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, as a way to make sure that it won't run out of memory. Thus, there will always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless performance of the physical machine.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
The amount of RAM included with each and every dedicated server which we offer you is large enough even for really resource-demanding web applications. The memory shall be readily available for your Internet sites and any software that you install on the server at all times, so even when at some point you use just a fraction of the system resources which you have, we'll never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All of the components are examined before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you'll get a flawlessly performing server that will ensure the best possible efficiency for your websites. The amount of physical memory which you have shall be listed with the full hosting server configuration specifications within your billing CP.
