    Well, linux caches frequently accessed files and data in memory thus showing free RAM as a low value. But as you're having problems with your site, maybe the server configuration or the OS or kernel is at fault.

    Is the server hardware upto the mark? You might want to rebuild the server and use a low resource consuming control panel like directadmin.

    you need to tweak your httpd.conf , apache allocates most of the memory to its processes so as visitors access your site , memory gets used , best solution is to upgrade ram ,its perfectly normal
