RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices such as harddrives or DVDs, enables the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored in it. Every time an application is launched, it is stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. In terms of the hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a particular hosting server, especially if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a certain account may be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume as well, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used always. That memory is assigned to one server only and will not be used by other customers even if it is not used.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers

All our VPS server plans feature a guaranteed amount of RAM. In other words, even if you use just a tiny fraction of the resources that your package features, we will never allot the free resources to a different VPS account on the very same physical server. Since we create just a few virtual servers on a physical one, the latter shall always have ample free memory to guarantee the adequate performance of all the VPS accounts even in case that their RAM allocation is upgraded tremendously at some point. In the event you also decide to upgrade your plan or to keep the latest one and to add only more memory, the new amount will also be reserved exclusively for your account. This way, we make sure that your websites will perform effectively at all times whatever the other VPS accounts are using.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

When you acquire one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll get a top-notch machine with enough RAM to run even several resource-demanding web applications without any effect on the overall performance of any one of them. Since we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we construct a server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks aren't faulty and that the web server works flawlessly. The physical memory you will get will be available all of the time, so even in a situation where you use just a part of it for any period of time, we will not alter the configuration. You shall be able to check the hardware, including the amount of RAM you have, inside the billing CP.
