RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Whenever an application is launched, it's stored inside the RAM, since it may be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can operate at the same time on a particular hosting server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people concurrently. In contrast to a shared web hosting package in which the resources of a particular account could be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used at all times. That memory is assigned to one hosting server only and will not be used by other clients even when it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
All of our virtual private server packages come with a set amount of RAM. To paraphrase, even in case you use just a tiny fraction of the resources which your plan features, we shall never allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the same physical web server. Due to the fact that we set up just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter shall always have sufficient free memory to secure the appropriate operation of all VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded considerably at some point. In case you also choose to upgrade your package deal or to keep the present one and to incorporate only more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved only for your account. In this way, we make sure that your websites will function correctly constantly whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
When you need a highly effective hosting solution for your Internet sites and apps and you obtain one of the Linux dedicated web hosting which we offer, you shall have a substantial amount of physical memory available constantly. You will be able to look at the hardware configuration at any time through the billing CP, including the amount of RAM. We test out the memory sticks meticulously alongside all of the other parts before we use them to build any hosting server, so if you purchase one of our packages, you'll get a high-quality server that will ensure fantastic functionality for your Internet sites. Even if you don't use the whole capacity of the web server for an extended stretch of time, the physical memory shall still be available for your server only.
