RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved inside it. Anytime an application is launched, it is stored within the RAM, since it can be accessed considerably quicker than if it was read from another media device. In terms of the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate at the same time on a given web server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people at the same time. Different from a shared web hosting plan where the resources of a certain account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume too, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use all the time. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and will not be used by other clients even if it is not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Web Hosting
When you get a virtual private server from us, you'll have a allocated amount of RAM readily available constantly. We create the VPS accounts on highly effective hardware nodes with a lot of physical memory, so the moment a new virtual server is set up, the RAM is allocated completely to it based on the specific features of the specific package deal. We never re-allocate RAM from a VPS which does not use all of its resources to one that needs more resources, so you will be able to use the functions of your package at their full capacity all of the time. We set up just a few VPS accounts on a physical server and we make certain that it comes with enough memory to permit all the clients on it to upgrade the RAM their machines are using without affecting the other accounts.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The amount of RAM included with each dedicated server that we offer you is big enough even for really resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be available for your websites and every other software that you install on the hosting server at all times, so even if at some point you use merely a fraction of the system resources that you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration which you have ordered. All the components are examined before the hosting server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make certain that you'll get a flawlessly performing hosting server that will ensure the best possible overall performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory you have shall be listed along with the full web server configuration specifications inside your billing CP.
