RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Each time an application is started, it is stored in the RAM, as it could be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can run concurrently on a given hosting server, particularly when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people simultaneously. Different from a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a given account may be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one web server only and shall not be used by other customers even in case it's not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

The physical memory which you will get with every single VPS server that we offer you is guaranteed and shall be available consistently even when you don't use it all for a long period of time. Each VPS account provides set system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from the rest of the accounts on the physical machine, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we won't allocate some of your memory to that account. We also never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, in order to ensure that it will never run out of memory. In this way, there'll always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless functioning of the physical hosting server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you need a highly effective website hosting solution for your Internet sites and applications and you purchase one of the Linux dedicated service we offer, you shall have a large amount of physical memory available all the time. You'll be able to see the hardware configuration anytime via the billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We try out the memory sticks meticulously along with all the other parts before we use them to build any machine, so in case you buy one of our solutions, you will get a high-quality web server that will ensure superb performance for your websites. Even in case you don't use the entire capacity of the web server for an extended period of time, the physical memory shall still be available for your server only.
