RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices like harddrives or DVDs, enables the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Anytime an app is launched, it is stored in the RAM, because it can be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can work concurrently on a particular hosting server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. Unlike a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a certain account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is allotted to one server only and shall not be used by other customers even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

All our virtual private server plans include a guaranteed amount of RAM. In other words, even when you use just a fraction of the resources which your plan features, we will not allocate the free resources to another VPS account on the exact same physical web server. Since we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have plenty of free memory to guarantee the proper performance of all the VPS accounts even if their RAM allocation is upgraded drastically eventually. If you also decide to upgrade your package or to keep the current one and to include just more memory, the new amount shall also be reserved just for your account. This way, we make certain that your sites will function correctly all of the time regardless of what the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

If you buy one of our dedicated server solutions, you shall get a top-notch hosting server with sufficient RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Because we test every single hardware component before we use it when we construct a hosting server, we'll make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't malfunctioning and that the hosting server performs flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get will be available constantly, so even in times in which you use only a part of it for a period of time, we won't alter the configuration. You will be able to take a look at the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, within the billing Control Panel.
