What happens if my site needs more memory?
Each site has a fixed memory limit set by your plan. When it needs more, add Extra RAM at £6 per GB a month to that site, or move to a plan with more memory per site. Nothing is added or charged automatically.
Memory per site runs from 1 GB on Starter and Business to 8 GB on Solo Plus and Solo HA. Every figure is on the pricing page.
Each GB of Extra RAM goes to one site you choose, and you can move it to another of your sites at any time. The limit is firm: a site cannot borrow memory from another site.
The dashboard shows each site's memory use over the last 7 days, so you can see when it is getting close.
Managed databases are sized separately: each one is £6 per GB of memory a month. See what a PostgreSQL database costs.
