RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, that, unlike other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, permits the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved inside it. Whenever an application is started, it is stored inside the RAM, as it can be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media. In terms of the hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can work concurrently on a certain web server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a certain account could be flexible and frequently depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use at all times. That memory is assigned to one web server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it's not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
If you acquire a VPS server through our company, you will have a allocated amount of RAM readily available constantly. We set up the VPS accounts on highly effective hardware nodes with no shortage of physical memory, so the moment a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allotted completely to it as per the specific features of the particular plan. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which doesn't use all of its system resources to one which needs more resources, so you will be able to use the characteristics of your package deal at their full capability at any time. We create only several VPS accounts on a physical server and we make sure that it has enough memory to permit all the customers on it to upgrade the RAM which their web servers are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
The amount of RAM included with each and every dedicated server we offer you is large enough even for quite resource-demanding web applications. The memory will be readily available for your websites and every other software you install on the web server at all times, so even if at some point you use only a fraction of the system resources which you have, we shall never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the hosting server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you'll get a flawlessly performing web server that will guarantee the best possible general performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory that you have shall be listed with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
