RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, permits the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved inside it. Every time an app is launched, it's stored within the RAM, because it can be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media device. With regard to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can run simultaneously on a given web server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. Not like a shared web hosting plan where the system resources of a particular account can be flexible and often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use always. That memory is assigned to one server only and shall not be used by other clients even if it is not being used.
Guaranteed RAM in VPS Servers
The physical memory which you will get with each VPS server that we provide is guaranteed and shall be readily available all of the time even if you do not use it for a long stretch of time. Each VPS account gives you set system resources and runs in an isolated container apart from other accounts on the physical hosting server, so even if some account starts running out of memory, we won't allocate some of your memory to that account. Also we never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, so as to guarantee that it won't ever run out of memory. Thus, there will always be free RAM if you decide to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless overall performance of the physical machine.
