RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, permits the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored inside it. Each time an app is started, it is stored within the RAM, because it can be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regards to the hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web apps can work simultaneously on a certain web server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. Different from a shared web hosting package in which the system resources of a given account can be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it's not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

The physical memory you will get with every virtual private server we provide is guaranteed and shall be at your disposal constantly even when you do not use the whole thing for a long length of time. Every VPS account provides fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container separately from all of the other accounts on the physical machine, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we won't assign some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts set up on it, as a way to make sure that it will never run out of memory. In this way, there shall always be free RAM if you choose to upgrade your package and we ensure the flawless operation of the physical hosting server.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

The amount of RAM that comes with each dedicated server we offer you is large enough even for really resource-demanding web applications. The memory shall be readily available for your sites and any software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so even if at some point you use only a fraction of the resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All the parts are subjected to testing before the hosting server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you will get a flawlessly performing machine that can ensure the best possible efficiency for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory you have shall be listed with the full server configuration specifications in your billing CP.
