    its basically showing you the CPU load usage in a timeframe shown. green is the last minute. orange is the last 5 mins. and blue is the last 15mins of CPU activity. if your on a VPS you cant really do much because you wont have control over restarting the server or anything, like that


    and the memory is just showing you how much memory is being used on your VPS. ( RAM) used for programs
    let me know if this helps

    The load average shown in the first graph looks OK but the Memory usage in the 2nd graph is something to worry. If your VPS is assigned 400MB of RAM, you are using everything at the moment and likely to swap from the host server and cause trouble to the main host server in the near future.

    I will always prefer a Dedicated server over a VPS if I had to migrate from a Shared hosting server due to resource shortage. Shared servers are normally high end servers and websites their uses a lot of resources than actually allotted to a VPS, so there is always a chance you will have more problems migrating from Shared server to a VPS server.

    If there is any 'resource shortage' I think you might be at the wrong service provider! A solid 'cloud' type cluster shouldn't have any resource shortage if the company has set up the infrastructure correctly and planned, etc.

    @OP - what are the specs on your VPS?

    It looks like you haven't understood 'cloud' hosting very well yet and not my point too.. Generally the Shared hosting servers for example have 4GB, 8GB and even 12GB of RAM where a client purchase a VPS thinking 1GB will be enough for his website, when he is actually overloading a high end Shared server.

    If your VPS has dedicated 500 Mhz, and you attempt to use more than this, your VPS is going to have problems.

    So, a VPS though hosted on a 'cloud' platform will always run out of resources with the website that has overload the Shared server. Infact, on a 'cloud' there is no leeway that is allowed on other platforms such as Virtuoozo OR OpenVZ where you can swap resources from the main host server.

    I'm talking about multi million dollar cloud platforms running VMWare sir. I've help setup several environments like this for leading cloud services providers. I'm not talking about "OpenVZ"

    When you have a cloud hosting cluster with tons of resources, you don't face these issues. Enterprise hosting at its finest.

    Take care

    Hello, I have sent you a pm regarding your issue.

    May be able to help you out :)

    Your not going to sort out your load issues, if you change ur mysql setting's as mysql on a big site off some of the customers i run, have 0.30 load on mysql under the user of there account, you just need to upgrade your vps and take a better approach.
