RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices including hard disks or DVDs, enables the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Anytime an app is started, it's stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it may be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media. In terms of the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can operate concurrently on a given web server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. In contrast to a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a particular account can be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume as well, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used all the time. That memory is allocated to one server only and won't be used by other customers even if it's not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers

The amount of RAM that comes with every dedicated server that we offer is big enough even for extremely resource-demanding web apps. The memory will be available for your sites and every other software which you install on the hosting server at all times, so even if at some point you use only a fraction of the system resources you have, we shall never alter the hardware configuration you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to ensure that you'll get a flawlessly operating machine that will guarantee the best possible performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory you have shall be listed along with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
