RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved inside it. Anytime an application is started, it is stored in the RAM, because it could be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a given hosting server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people at the same time. Unlike a shared web hosting solution in which the system resources of a certain account could be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume too, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used all the time. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and won't be used by other customers even in case it's not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you choose to host your websites on a VPS server acquired from us, the amount of RAM which you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on powerful servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory included with the particular plan will be "locked", so even in case you use a little part of it at some point while another VPS account is using virtually all of its system resources, we will not allot the free RAM from your account even temporarily. This is valid when you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server too - the extra amount shall be added to your account completely. You will be able to upgrade either the entire plan or only the server’s RAM with only several mouse clicks inside the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll get a top-notch server with sufficient RAM to run even several resource-demanding web applications without any effect on the overall functionality of any of them. Because we test each hardware component before we use it when we set up a web server, we will make certain that the RAM sticks are not malfunctioning and that the server performs flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get will be available constantly, so even in a situation in which you use merely a part of it for any given period of time, we will never alter the configuration. You'll be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, inside the billing Control Panel.
