RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, which, different from other storage devices like hard disk drives or DVDs, allows the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Each time a program is started, it is stored within the RAM, due to the fact that it may be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media. With regards to the hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web apps can operate concurrently on a given web server, especially if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a great number of of people all at once. Different from a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a certain account may be flexible and frequently depend on what other users consume too, a VPS offers a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used always. That memory is assigned to one hosting server only and will not be used by other customers even in case it is not in use.
