RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed considerably faster than a hard disk drive, due to the fact that the info can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data is reached. On a web server, the RAM is employed to load scripts and web programs when they are executed, so the more RAM you can use, the more apps you shall be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to surf your sites with no effect on the site’s/server’s functionality. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is employed for non permanent storage purposes, since the data is lost when the power is shut off. In case you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts can use may be limited and might change according to what the some other clients on the same hosting server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated web server, on the other hand, you will have a set amount of RAM which won't be used by others even when you don't use it at a particular time.
