RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Anytime a program is started, it is stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it may be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the website hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can run at the same time on a given web server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people concurrently. Unlike a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a particular account can be flexible and often depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one server only and shall not be used by other customers even when it's not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you decide to host your sites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and shall be available all of the time no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on effective hosting servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory included with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even in case you use only a part of it ultimately while another VPS account is using almost all of its system resources, we will not allocate the free RAM from your account even briefly. That is valid when you upgrade the total memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount shall be added to your current account fully. You shall be able to upgrade either your entire plan or only the server’s RAM with just a few clicks within the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you acquire one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get a top-notch machine with sufficient RAM to run even multiple resource-demanding web applications without any effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Since we test every single hardware component before we use it when we assemble a hosting server, we shall make perfectly sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the server performs flawlessly. The physical memory you will get shall be available all of the time, so even in times in which you employ merely a part of it for any period of time, we shall never modify the configuration. You shall be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, within the billing CP.
