When choosing the RAM memory on our VPS server, we must rely on two aspects: the amount of memory we need and the type of memory.

As for the amount of memory, we must look at the use we will give and the memory that our activity will require. We have to try to calculate the memory we need previously, in order to make the best choice and obtain a good resource / price ratio. In other words, to avoid falling short or exceeding the amount of memory chosen.

To average the amount of RAM that our VPS server will need, we must be clear about the RAM consumption of the chosen operating system and the programs or applications that will be executed. It is not the same to use as a CentOS operating system than Windows Server, since the latter needs many more RAM.

Once we have done the calculation we will know the base memory that we need and we will have to add to that base memory an adequate amount for the elderly to perform the tasks on the VPS server.

Types of RAM in VPS server

As for the type of memory that we usually offer in VPS, it is of two types: dedicated and burstable .

For example if they tell us that a VPS has 256MB of RAM and 512MB of burstable RAM, what it means is that we will always have 256MB of RAM dedicated for our VPS and that we will also have another 256MB shared with other users so if you They get to use the response time may be longer due to their shared use.

As you can see, when talking about burstable RAM it is not that they give us 512MB of RAM to older people but that they give us the difference between guaranteed RAM and burstable RAM (512-256 = 256). This is usually the case in all hostings.

It must be clear that the burstable RAM does not guarantee it to us and we can only use it if it is free, so you should never have it, since it is for punctual use.
