    Hi,

    Login to SSH, type "top" and hit enter.

    Paste the result here

    That will show you what top processes are using your server, and you can kill them by typing K and then the process number

    You should probably try to optimize your Apache, PHP and MySQL configuration based on your hardware and daily usage.
    There are plenty of tutorials on the web on how to do that.

    A lot ot pleople requested to show the exit of the top command, if you dont give more details i dont think anyone can help you more.

    To see if its a DDoS you can show the exit of the following:
    netstat -plan | awk '/tcp/ || /udp/' | awk '{print $5}' | awk -F : '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c| sort -n

    You seems to have problems with mysql, you should check why is using that amount of resources.
    Your mysql server is using 185% of cpu.
    Somthing that you can check, you my.cnf (MySQL configuration file).
    Check if you scripts are using searchs without index, etc

    Just one other thing to check, and that would be your mail queue. I've seen it many times before when a servers load spikes, and MySQL and the web server seem to be normal loads, that the mail server itself is struggling, and that makes the loads jump quickly. You have not stated if you are using a control panel at all for this server, so I cannot make a recommendation on how to check the queue size.

    Hi,

    The problem has been fixed.

    Here's a screenshot of your CPU load after the fix:

    Also your site now loads very quickly:

    Please msg me on MSN to confirm.

    Thanks,
