What is Guarantees RAM vs. Burstable RAM?
Last Updated 9 years ago
Guaranteed RAM means that you will never have less than the guaranteed amount of memory available to you. If that amount is 1 GB, you will not ever have less than that, even if the server load is high for your VPS neighbors. Burstable RAM refers to additional memory that may be available to you, should the need arise. For example, if you exceed your guaranteed 1 GB, you may have up to 3GB of RAM at your disposal for short “bursts” of time, provided the system resources are available to accommodate it.
