RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices including harddrives or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Whenever an app is launched, it's stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it may be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can work simultaneously on a certain web server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. In contrast to a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a given account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used all the time. That memory is allocated to one server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it is not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting
When you opt to host your Internet sites on a virtual private server purchased from our company, the amount of RAM which you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on highly effective web servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even if you use a part of it at some point while another VPS account is using almost all of its resources, we shall not allocate the free RAM from your account even briefly. This is valid when you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server as well - the extra amount shall be added to your account completely. You shall be able to upgrade either your entire plan or only the server’s RAM with a few mouse clicks in the billing CP.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All of our dedicated server plans include a great deal of physical memory, which will permit you to run very heavy web applications without any challenges. We use brand new and meticulously tested hardware components when we install a new hosting server to guarantee that there will not be any complications of any sort. The RAM memory is not an exception and if you purchase a dedicated server, we'll make sure that you get the best functionality possible from the configuration which you have picked. Even if we find out that you aren't using the entire capacity of the hosting server, we will not alter the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM which will be available shall always be the same. You can check the configuration, including the physical memory, within your billing Control Panel at any time.
