RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Every time an application is started, it is stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. With regard to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a particular hosting server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people all at once. Unlike a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a particular account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume also, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is allocated to one web server only and shall not be used by other customers even if it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting
The physical memory which you will get with each virtual private server we offer is guaranteed and will be available at all times even if you do not use the whole thing for a long stretch of time. Every VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from all the other accounts on the physical machine, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we shall not allot some of your memory to that account. Additionally we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, in order to make sure that it will never run out of memory. Thus, there shall always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless functioning of the physical machine.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you get one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get a top-notch server with sufficient RAM to run even several resource-demanding web apps with no effect on the overall performance of any one of them. Due to the fact that we test each hardware component before we use it when we set up a web server, we shall make sure that the RAM sticks aren't defective and that the hosting server functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get shall be available all the time, so even in times in which you employ merely a part of it for any given period of time, we will not modify the configuration. You'll be able to check out the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, in the billing CP.
