RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Anytime a program is started, it's stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can run concurrently on a particular hosting server, especially if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people at the same time. Unlike a shared web hosting solution in which the system resources of a given account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used always. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and will not be used by other clients even when it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
The physical memory that you will get with every single virtual private server which we offer you is guaranteed and shall be available all of the time even if you don't use it for a long stretch of time. Every VPS account offers you set system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from the rest of the accounts on the physical server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we shall never allocate some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, so as to ensure that it will never run out of memory. That way, there'll always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless operation of the physical server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
When you buy one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. Since we test each hardware component before we use it when we assemble a web server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the server performs flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get will be available constantly, so even in a situation in which you employ only a part of it for a period of time, we won't alter the configuration. You shall be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, in the billing Control Panel.
