Guaranteed RAM
Discover the difference between standard and guaranteed RAM in the website hosting world.
RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, that, in contrast to other storage devices including hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content located within it. Anytime a program is started, it's stored within the RAM, as it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media device. With regards to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can run concurrently on a particular hosting server, especially if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people at the same time. Not like a shared web hosting plan in which the resources of a certain account may be flexible and often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS provides a guaranteed amount of RAM you can use all the time. That memory is allotted to one server only and will not be used by other clients even in case it is not in use.
Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Servers
The amount of RAM that comes with each and every dedicated server we offer you is large enough even for very resource-demanding web programs. The memory will be readily available for your sites and every other software which you install on the server at all times, so if at some point you use merely a fraction of the resources which you have, we will never alter the hardware configuration that you have ordered. All of the components are subjected to testing before the server is assembled, including the RAM sticks, to make sure that you'll get a flawlessly functioning hosting server that will guarantee the best possible overall performance for your Internet sites. The amount of physical memory which you have will be listed together with the full server configuration specifications inside your billing Control Panel.
