RAM, that stands for Random Access Memory, is a computer storage media that is accessed way quicker than a hard drive, simply because the information can be read randomly, skipping the bytes before the needed data 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 are able to use, the more programs you'll be able to run all at once and the more people shall be able to check out your sites without any effect on the site’s/server’s general performance. Unlike a disk drive, however, the RAM is used for short-term storage purposes, since the info is lost once the power is shut off. When you use a shared web hosting account, the physical memory your scripts are able to use may be limited and can change depending on what the other customers on the same web server use. Through a virtual or a dedicated web server, however, you shall have a set amount of RAM which will not be used by anyone else even when you don't use it at a certain time.
