RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as harddrives or DVDs, allows the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved in it. Anytime an application is started, it is stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it may be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the web hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can work at the same time on a certain hosting server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a certain account can be flexible and often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used always. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and won't be used by other clients even in case it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting
All of our virtual private server plans come with a guaranteed amount of RAM. Simply put, even when you use only a small fraction of the system resources that your package deal features, we will never assign the free resources to a different VPS account on the very same physical server. Since we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter will always have ample free memory to secure the correct functioning of all the VPS accounts even when their RAM allocation is upgraded significantly at some point. In the event you also decide to upgrade your package deal or to keep the current one and to include just more memory, the new amount will also be reserved just for your account. This way, we make certain that your Internet sites will perform adequately all the time whatever the other VPS accounts are using.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All our dedicated server plans come with a great deal of physical memory, which will permit you to run very heavy web apps with no challenges. We use new and meticulously tested hardware components when we set up a new hosting server to make sure that there will never be any troubles of any type. The RAM memory is not an exception and when you purchase a dedicated server, we will ensure that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration you have picked out. Even if we identify that you're not using the whole capacity of the hosting server, we shall not alter the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be readily available shall always be the same. You may take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, in your billing Control Panel at any time.
