RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory, which, in contrast to other storage devices like hard disks or DVDs, allows the data to be accessed directly without reading the previous content stored within it. Whenever an app is started, it's stored inside the RAM, due to the fact that it could be accessed much faster than if it was read from another media. With regard to the web hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can run all at once on a certain server, especially when they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a significant number of people at the same time. Unlike a shared web hosting solution in which the system resources of a certain account could be flexible and sometimes depend on what other end users consume also, a VPS features a guaranteed amount of RAM that can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and won't be used by other customers even in case it's not used.
