    I'll speak as if the server's for myself
    Since it is a reseller package I am assuming everything is shared, except disk space and bandwidth limits,

    Monitor to see if the memory usage will get higher in few days or weeks period; if it doesn't you'll be fine, if it does, ask to be moved to a server with less users. (provided you or your customers are not the one causing high loads)

    I agree that is a high Memory load and unless it was just an aberation it is a problem.

    Server load is normal but the memory usage is high and it can create problems. Either server has less memory or some applications are eating high memory on the server.

    everything is normal but memory usage is very high. there must be something hogging memory.

    lol.... Nothing wrong with that memory usage.

    Considering linux caches memory...

    If its a WHM/CPanel box, Cpanel scripts will kill any apache process hogs, unless ill-configured.

    Seems to me that:

    - They have a dual core CPU. CPU load is fairly average for a server that is actually being used.
    - They either have a low amount of memory for the kind of sites being hosted, someone is hogging the memory or they are having a larger amount of people visiting someone's site than usual.
    - The amount of swap used is telling me that they might need to put some more RAM in their server...
    - The hard drive tells me that there is enough room to grow, unless they are still placing more accounts on that server.

    The RAM usage could be high with no problem, this could well be just Linux caching files in memory, as long as you're not swapping, you shouldn't have any problems.

    8% mem swap is high....it will slow things down if swap is used as memory
