RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a sort of computer memory, which, unlike other storage devices such as hard disk drives or DVDs, permits the information to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Each time an app is launched, it's stored within the RAM, because it may be accessed much quicker than if it was read from another media. In terms of the website hosting service itself, extra RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a particular server, particularly if they're resource-demanding and are accessed by a large number of people concurrently. Different from a shared web hosting package where the system resources of a certain account can be flexible and often depend on what other users consume also, a VPS includes a guaranteed amount of RAM which you can use always. That memory is assigned to one web server only and will not be used by other clients even if it is not being used.
