RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved inside it. Anytime a program is launched, it is stored in the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can work simultaneously on a given server, particularly when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people simultaneously. Unlike a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a given account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use always. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and won't be used by other clients even when it's not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
When you obtain a virtual private server through our company, you shall have a guaranteed amount of RAM at your disposal always. We set up the VPS accounts on powerful hardware nodes with no shortage of physical memory, so once a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is assigned entirely to it in accordance with the specific features of the selected package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which doesn't use all of its resources to one that needs more resources, so you will be able to use the functions of your package deal at their full capability all of the time. We set up only several VPS accounts on a physical server and we make certain that it comes with enough memory to enable all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM that their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
When you purchase one of our dedicated server plans, you shall get a top-notch web server with enough RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web programs without any effect on the overall efficiency of any of them. Due to the fact that we test every single hardware component before we use it when we assemble a hosting server, we shall make certain that the RAM sticks are not faulty and that the hosting server works flawlessly. The physical memory which you will get shall be available constantly, so even in times where you use only a part of it for any given period of time, we won't change the configuration. You shall be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, inside the billing CP.
