Guaranteed RAM
What is the true difference between the web hosting industry-related phrases ?regular RAM? and ?guaranteed RAM??
RAM, which means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that could be accessed considerably quicker than a hard disk drive, simply because the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web applications after they are executed, so the more RAM you are able to use, the more programs you will be able to run concurrently and the more people will be able to surf your websites with no effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. In contrast to a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, because the information is lost once the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts may use may be limited and could change according to what the some other clients on the same machine use. With a virtual or a dedicated server, on the other hand, you shall have a guaranteed amount of RAM which won't be used by anybody else even if you do not use it at a certain time.

Guaranteed RAM in VPS Hosting
The physical memory you will get with every
virtual private server which we offer is guaranteed and shall be available always even when you do not use it for a long time period. Every single VPS account gives you fixed system resources and runs in an isolated container independently from the rest of the accounts on the physical server, so even when some account starts running out of memory, we shall never allocate some of your memory to that account. Furthermore never distribute the whole physical memory on the hardware node among the virtual accounts established on it, as a way to ensure that it won't run out of memory. In this way, there'll always be free RAM if you wish to upgrade your package and we guarantee the flawless functioning of the physical hosting server.
