RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as hard disks or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored inside it. Whenever a program is launched, it is stored in the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the web hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can run at the same time on a certain web server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people all at once. Different from a shared web hosting solution in which the resources of a given account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used always. 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

When you opt to host your websites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available constantly no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on efficient servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory provided with the particular plan will be "locked", so even if you use just a part of it at some point while another VPS account is using almost all of its system resources, we will not allocate the free RAM from your account even for the short term. This is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server as well - the additional amount shall be added to your existing account permanently. You'll be able to upgrade either the entire package or only the server’s RAM with several clicks in the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

If you need a potent hosting solution for your websites and programs and you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we offer, you'll have a great deal of physical memory available all of the time. You shall be able to look at the hardware configuration at any time through the billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We test the memory sticks extensively alongside all the other parts before we use them to put together any web server, so in case you purchase one of our solutions, you shall get a high-quality server that will guarantee remarkable efficiency for your Internet sites. Even when you do not use the total capacity of the server for an extended length of time, the physical memory will still be available for your web server only.
