RAM is an abbreviation for Random Access Memory. This is a kind of computer memory, that, different from other storage devices like harddrives or DVDs, enables the info to be accessed directly without reading the previous content saved within it. Each time an application is launched, it is stored within the RAM, since it can be accessed much more quickly than if it was read from another media. With regards to the website hosting service itself, more RAM means that more web applications can operate simultaneously on a particular hosting server, particularly if they are resource-demanding and are accessed by a large amount of people concurrently. Not like a shared web hosting solution where the resources of a given account could be flexible and often depend on what other users consume too, a VPS has a guaranteed amount of RAM which can be used at all times. That memory is allotted to one hosting server only and won't be used by other customers even if it's not being used.
