RAM, which means Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media which could be accessed considerably faster than a hard disk drive, as the data can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed info is reached. On a web server, the RAM is used to load scripts and web programs after they are executed, so the more RAM you may use, the more apps you'll be able to run simultaneously and the more people shall be able to surf your websites with no effect on the site’s/server’s performance. Different from a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for non permanent storage purposes, because the data is lost as soon as the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory that your scripts can use may be limited and may change based upon what the some other clients on the same machine use. With a virtual or a dedicated web server, however, you'll have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by anyone else even when you do not use it at a certain time.
