RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices such as harddrives or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Every time a program is launched, it is stored in the RAM, since it may be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. With regards to the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can operate concurrently on a particular web server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people all at once. In contrast to a shared web hosting package in which the resources of a certain account can be flexible and quite often depend on what other users consume also, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used always. That memory is allotted to one web server only and shall not be used by other clients even when it is not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
When you opt to host your websites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM you will get with it will be guaranteed and will be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on powerful servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even when you use only a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using most of its resources, we won't assign the free RAM from your account even briefly. This is valid if you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server as well - the additional amount will be added to your current account permanently. You'll be able to upgrade either your entire plan or only the server’s RAM with several clicks inside the billing CP.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
When you need a highly effective website hosting solution for your Internet sites and apps and you obtain one of the Linux dedicated servers which we offer you, you'll have a massive amount of physical memory available all the time. You will be able to see the hardware configuration anytime from your billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We try out the memory sticks diligently as well as all the other parts before we use them to build any server, so if you buy one of our plans, you'll get a high-quality web server that'll guarantee fantastic performance for your Internet sites. Even in case you don't use the whole capacity of the hosting server for an extended period of time, the physical memory shall still be available for your web server only.
