RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, permits the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Whenever an application is launched, it's stored in the RAM, since it can be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the web hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can operate at the same time on a certain server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people at the same time. In contrast to a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a certain account may be flexible and frequently depend on what other end users consume too, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is assigned to one server only and won't be used by other clients even in case it's not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS

When you opt to host your Internet sites on a virtual private server bought from us, the amount of RAM that you will get with it will be guaranteed and will be available all of the time no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on powerful hosting servers and when your virtual server is created, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even if you use only a part of it at one point while another VPS account is using almost all of its system resources, we won't allocate the free RAM from your account even briefly. This is valid when you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server as well - the extra amount shall be added to your existing account fully. You shall be able to upgrade either your entire package or just the server’s RAM with only several clicks in the billing Control Panel.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll get a top-notch machine with enough RAM to run even a number of resource-demanding web applications with no 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 hosting server, we shall ensure that the RAM sticks are not malfunctioning and that the machine works flawlessly. The physical memory that you'll get shall be available all of the time, so even in times in which you utilize merely a part of it for a period of time, we will never alter the configuration. You shall be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM which you have, in the billing CP.
