Some companies charge $20 monthly, and more, for modest RAM increases. If the RAM increases the energy bill by $20, wow.
The price of keeping RAM in stock for failure is mitigated by having multiple servers/clients. If you have 10 servers with a total of 160 GB of RAM on those servers, I'm willing to bet you don't have 160 GB of RAM laying around.
A hosting company is free to do what they want, of course, everyone should just know that there are plenty of great hosting companies that will only charge you for the cost of the RAM itself. Shop around.
