RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Every time an app is launched, it's stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can run all at once on a particular web server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting solution where the system resources of a certain account may be flexible and frequently depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one server only and will not be used by other clients even if it is not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
When you opt to host your sites on a VPS server purchased from our company, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and will be available constantly no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on effective hosting servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even in case you use only a part of it at some time while another VPS account is using almost all of its system resources, we shall not allocate the free RAM from your account even momentarily. This is valid if you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount will be added to your existing account completely. You will be able to upgrade either the entire package or just the server’s RAM with just a couple of mouse clicks inside the billing Control Panel.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All of our dedicated server packages feature a large amount of physical memory, that will enable you to run rather heavy web applications with no difficulties. We use brand new and carefully tested hardware components when we build a new server to guarantee that there will not be any problems of any kind. The RAM memory isn't an exception and when you obtain a dedicated server, we shall make sure that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration that you have picked out. Even if we find out that you aren't using the full capacity of the server, we won't alter the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be available will always be the same. You are able to check out the configuration, including the physical memory, within your billing Control Panel at any time.
