RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a form of computer data storage, which enables the information to be read randomly without accessing the preceding bytes before that. That makes the RAM a lot quicker than other kinds of storage devices like DVDs or HDDs in which all of the info needs to be read so as to access specific data. If you have a shared hosting account, the total amount of memory which your web applications can use cannot be fixed and may commonly rely upon the free memory that's available on the physical web server. Using a standalone server, however, there's always a minimum amount of physical memory that'll be for your use at all times and will never be allocated to other clients even when it isn't used. This is valid with our virtual and dedicated hosting servers.
