RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, allows the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Every time an app is started, it's stored inside the RAM, since it may be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media. In terms of the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can work simultaneously on a certain server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people simultaneously. In contrast to a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a particular account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even in case it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
If you obtain a VPS server from us, you'll have a set amount of RAM readily available at all times. We create the VPS accounts on effective hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so once a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allotted permanently to it in accordance with the specific features of the specific package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that does not use all of its system resources to one which requires more resources, so you shall be able to use the functions of your package at their full capacity all of the time. We set up only a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we ensure that it comes with an adequate amount of memory to allow all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM that their servers are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
If you buy one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get a top-notch web server with sufficient RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall performance of any of them. Due to the fact that we test every single hardware component before we use it when we construct a server, we'll make sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the server performs flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get will be available constantly, so even in times in which you utilize merely a part of it for any period of time, we will not modify the configuration. You'll be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, within the billing CP.
