RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved in it. Every time an application is started, it's stored within the RAM, as it can be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media. With regard to the website hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can run all at once on a given web server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting solution in which the system resources of a given account may be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume also, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use all the time. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and shall not be used by other clients even in case it's not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
When you get a virtual private server from our company, you'll have a set amount of RAM readily available at all times. We create the VPS accounts on powerful hardware nodes with no shortage of physical memory, so once a new virtual server is created, the RAM is assigned completely to it in accordance with the exact features of the specific package. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that does not use all of its resources to one that needs more resources, so you'll be able to use the features of your plan at their full potential at any time. We create just a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make certain that it includes sufficient memory to enable all the customers on it to upgrade the RAM which their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
When you buy one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll get a top-notch machine with enough RAM to run even a variety of resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall efficiency of any one of them. Because we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we assemble a web server, we shall make sure that the RAM sticks are not faulty and that the server functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get will be available all of the time, so even in a situation in which you employ only a part of it for any given period of time, we will not alter the configuration. You shall be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, in the billing CP.
