RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Anytime an application is launched, it is stored within the RAM, because it can be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can work all at once on a certain server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. In contrast to a shared web hosting plan in which the resources of a certain account can be flexible and frequently depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use always. That memory is assigned to one web server only and will not be used by other customers even if it's not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

When you decide to host your Internet sites on a virtual private server bought from our company, the amount of RAM which you'll get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on effective hosting servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even in case you use just a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using virtually all of its system resources, we will not allocate the free RAM from your account even for the short term. That is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount will be added to your account permanently. You'll be able to upgrade either your entire package or just the server’s RAM with just several clicks through the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

The amount of RAM that comes with every dedicated server which we offer is large enough even for really resource-demanding web apps. The memory will be available for your websites and any other software which you install on the server at all times, so even when at some point you use merely a fraction of the system resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All the parts are examined before the web server is constructed, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you will get a flawlessly functioning server that will guarantee the best possible performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory which you have shall be listed together with the full hosting server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
