RAM, that refers to Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which may be accessed noticeably faster than a hard disk drive, simply because the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed information is reached. On a hosting server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs when they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more programs you shall be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to check out your sites without effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for momentary storage purposes, due to the fact that the information is lost as soon as the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts could use may be limited and may change according to what the other customers on the same machine use. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, however, you shall have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by anybody else even if you do not use it at a certain time.
