RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices including hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Whenever an application is launched, it is stored inside the RAM, as it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. In terms of the hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can operate at the same time on a certain server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a given account could be flexible and quite often depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is allocated to one web server only and won't be used by other customers even when it's not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

If you choose to host your websites on a VPS server acquired from our company, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it will be guaranteed and will be available all of the time no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on highly effective servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory which comes with the particular plan will be "locked", so even in case you use a little part of it ultimately while another VPS account is using nearly all of its resources, we will not assign the free RAM from your account even for the short term. That is valid if you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server as well - the extra amount will be added to your account entirely. You will be able to upgrade either the whole plan or just the server’s RAM with simply a few mouse clicks through the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

All of our dedicated server packages come with a massive amount of physical memory, that will allow you to run really heavy web apps with no issues. We use new and thoroughly tested hardware components when we build a new hosting server to make certain that there will never be any issues of any type. The RAM memory is not an exception and when you buy a dedicated server, we will make sure that you get the best efficiency possible from the configuration you have selected. Even if we discover that you're not using the entire capacity of the machine, we will never alter the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM that'll be at your disposal shall always be the same. You are able to take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, in your billing CP at any time.
