Guaranteed RAM

What exactly is the real difference between the hosting industry-related terms ?regular RAM? and ?guaranteed RAM??

RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices including hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved in it. Each time an app is started, it is stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it can be accessed considerably faster than if it was read from another media. With regards to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can run at the same time on a given server, especially when they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people simultaneously. Not like a shared web hosting package in which the resources of a certain account may be flexible and sometimes depend on what other users consume also, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used all the time. That memory is allocated to one hosting server only and will not be used by other clients even in case it is not in use.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting

If you decide to host your websites on a virtual private server purchased from our company, the amount of RAM which you'll get with it shall be guaranteed and will be available at all times no matter what. The VPS accounts are created on highly effective web servers and when your virtual server is set up, the RAM memory that comes with the particular plan shall be "locked", so even when you use only a part of it at some point while another VPS account is using almost all of its resources, we'll never assign the free RAM from your account even for the short term. This is valid when you upgrade the whole memory of the virtual server too - the additional amount will be added to your account entirely. You shall be able to upgrade either the whole plan or just the server’s RAM with only a few mouse clicks in the billing CP.

Guaranteed RAM in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you purchase one of our dedicated server packages, you will get a top-notch server with enough RAM to run even several resource-demanding web apps without any effect on the overall functionality of any one of them. As we test each and every hardware component before we use it when we construct a web server, we will make sure that the RAM sticks are not malfunctioning and that the machine functions flawlessly. The physical memory that you will get will be available all the time, so even in times where you use merely a part of it for any given period of time, we will never modify the configuration. You shall be able to examine the hardware, including the amount of RAM that you have, in the billing CP.
