RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved in it. Whenever an application is started, it's stored within the RAM, since it could be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the web hosting service itself, additional RAM means that more web apps can work concurrently on a particular hosting server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people all at once. In contrast to a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a particular account may be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume also, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used always. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even if it is not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS
The physical memory that you will get with every single virtual private server which we offer is guaranteed and shall be readily available all of the time even if you do not use it all for a long stretch of time. Each VPS account gives you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from all the other accounts on the physical server, so even in case some account starts running out of memory, we won't allocate some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts created on it, so as to guarantee that it won't ever run out of memory. That way, there will always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless overall performance of the physical server.
