RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Each time an app is launched, it's stored in the RAM, because it could be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. With regards to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a particular hosting server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people concurrently. Unlike a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a certain account may be flexible and often depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is assigned to one web server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it's not used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
When you obtain a VPS server through us, you will have a allocated amount of RAM available constantly. We set up the VPS accounts on potent hardware nodes with plenty of physical memory, so as soon as a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allocated completely to it based on the specific features of the specific package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS that does not use all of its system resources to one that requires more resources, so you shall be able to use the functions of your plan 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 provides a sufficient amount of memory to enable all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM their hosting servers are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
All our dedicated server plans include a massive amount of physical memory, that'll allow you to run really heavy web apps without any challenges. We use brand-new and extensively tested hardware components when we build a new hosting server to make certain that there will not be any troubles of any kind. The RAM memory isn't an exception and if you buy a dedicated server, we shall make sure that you get the best functionality possible from the configuration that you have selected. Even if we determine that you are not using the total capacity of the web server, we shall not alter the hardware in any way, so the total amount of RAM that will be readily available will always be the same. You will be able to take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, inside your billing CP at any time.
