    I am currently hosting at vps.net. I am force to ask question here because my site is always experiencing a downtime. vps.net don't currently support full customer support if you don't subscribe to their manage support which will cost you $100 per month.

    My problem is sometimes the processes is increasing badly to 250 to 330 sometimes causing my server to down. I am not will verse in Linux and I would like to ask question what is the configuration that I need to optimize.

    I am using CentOS with WHM/cPanel. I have all access to root. I am also using serverdensity to monitor the status of my server where I know how much processes I have.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Check how much is your load and also the processes that are taking the most.

    Hello there,

    You would use the 'top' command, and 'ps aux' to see what processes are running.
