RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a sort of computer data storage, that permits the information to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. This makes the RAM considerably quicker than other types of storage devices such as DVDs or HDDs where all the data must be read so as to access particular info. If you have a shared hosting account, the amount of memory your web apps can use cannot be fixed and may often depend on the free memory that's available on the physical machine. With a standalone server, however, there's always a minimum amount of physical memory which shall be readily available at all times and will not be assigned to other clients even when it's not used. This is valid with our virtual and dedicated servers.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
The physical memory you will get with each and every virtual private server which we offer you is guaranteed and shall be available consistently even when you do not use it for a long stretch of time. Every single VPS account gives you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from all the other accounts on the physical web server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we won't allocate some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the entire physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, in order to ensure that it will not run out of memory. This way, there will always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless operation of the physical web server.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting
The amount of RAM that comes with each dedicated server which we offer is big enough even for quite resource-demanding web programs. The memory shall be readily available for your sites and every other software which you install on the hosting server at all times, so even when at some point you use a fraction of the system resources which you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the components are examined before the server is built, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you will get a flawlessly functioning web server that will guarantee the best possible general performance for your sites. The amount of physical memory you have will be listed along with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
