RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices including hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located in it. Each time an app is launched, it's stored in the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. With regards to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can run simultaneously on a given server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people concurrently. Different from a shared web hosting package where the resources of a given account can be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume too, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used all the time. That memory is assigned to one web server only and will not be used by other clients even when it is not being used.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Hosting

All of our dedicated server plans include a large amount of physical memory, that will permit you to run really heavy web applications without any difficulties. We use brand-new and carefully tested hardware components when we build a new hosting server to ensure that there won't be any issues of any sort. The RAM memory is not an exception and if you purchase a dedicated server, we'll make sure that you get the best general performance possible from the configuration that you have picked out. Even if we identify that you're not using the total capacity of the machine, we will not modify the hardware in any way, so the amount of RAM which will be readily available will always be the same. You can take a look at the configuration, including the physical memory, within your billing Control Panel at any time.
