    14 Memory "RAM" Allocation

    In order to keep our servers as efficient as possible, memory allocation is dynamic. This means that Customers will be allocated enough RAM (with a 20% buffer) to run all currently running programs on their VPS. As memory demand increases, the Customer’s VPS is allocated additional RAM to meet the new requirements, up to the Customer’s VPS memory limit.

    15 Hard Drive Space

    Similarly To clause 14 (above), additional hard drive space is automatically provisioned as and when required, up to the Customer’s VPS hard drive space limit (as per their VPS plan).
