RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Each time an app is started, it's stored within the RAM, as it could be accessed much more quickly 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 at the same time on a given server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a particular account may be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is assigned to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even in case it's not used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory that you will get with every single VPS server we offer you is guaranteed and shall be readily available all of the time even if you do not use it all for a long length of time. Every single VPS account gives you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from all the other accounts on the physical web server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we will never allocate some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, to guarantee that it won't run out of memory. That way, there will always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless operation of the physical server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
If you need an effective web hosting solution for your sites and applications and you buy one of the Linux dedicated servers that we provide you with, you'll have a large amount of physical memory available all the time. You will be able to see the hardware configuration whenever you want from your billing Control Panel, including the amount of RAM. We test the memory sticks thoroughly alongside all the other parts before we use them to build any hosting server, so if you get one of our plans, you shall get a high-quality hosting server that will guarantee remarkable efficiency for your sites. Even in case you don't use the entire capacity of the hosting server for an extended stretch of time, the physical memory shall still be available for your server exclusively.
