RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a kind of computer data storage, that enables the data to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. That makes the RAM noticeably quicker than other kinds of storage devices including DVDs or HDDs where all of the information ought to be read to be able to access specific data. In case you have a shared hosting account, the amount of memory which your web apps can use may not be fixed and may often be determined by the free memory which is available on the physical server. Using a standalone web server, however, there is always a minimum amount of physical memory which shall be available at all times and shall not be allotted to other customers even if it isn't in use. This is valid with our virtual and dedicated hosting servers.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
When you decide to host your Internet sites on a virtual private server acquired from us, the amount of RAM that you'll get with it will be guaranteed and shall be available always no matter what. The VPS accounts are set up on powerful 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 most of its system resources, we won't allot the free RAM from your account even for the short term. This is valid if you upgrade the entire memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount will be added to your account permanently. You will be able to upgrade either your entire package or just the server’s RAM with only a few mouse clicks inside the billing Control Panel.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting
The amount of RAM included with each and every dedicated server that we offer you is large enough even for really resource-demanding web applications. The memory will be readily available for your websites and all other software which you install on the web server at all times, so if at some point you use a fraction of the resources you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the parts are subjected to testing before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you will get a flawlessly working hosting server that can ensure the best possible efficiency for your websites. The amount of physical memory you have will be listed together with the full web server configuration specifications within your billing CP.
