My vps has a lot of ram usage

Posted on August 17, 2017

Hi! I installed vestacp in a 10$ drolplet 1cpu/1gb.

The ram usage is 700Mb always.

Sometimes the wordpress give me http 500 when i try to enter in dashboard.

0 visitors in the website.

Someone can help me? Thx!

I checked the ram with “top” in console and…

If i enter to my website the ram usage goes from 640mb to 750mb :S

Its weird. In “top” all hte process are with 0 ram usage and suddenly mysql takes 30% (how its possible if no ones its in the website)

I have 10 websites with 0 visitors in the vps.

The vps installation is fresh from 16/08/2016

But the ram used is always more than 640mb

850mb across 10 websites only averages about ~85mb memory usage per site. If they are all serving dynamic content via content management systems that is fairly reasonable usage.

Perhaps you should look at increasing the memory available if you’re planning on hosting that many sites on one VPS? Personally I would limit the amount of sites per droplet and just create more droplets rather than run them all from one.

Really guys, i dont know your experiencie. Thx for your help. But i had a vps 1gb with 8 websites and never crash.

Now i deleted 5 websites then i have 5 websites and… MAGIC the ram usage is the same 700mb.

What now

Something interesting, when i delete 1 website from vestacp.

“Error: nginx restart failed” And the ram usage goes down to 400mb but fast start to increase to 700mb

I bealive nginx is going bad.

I did it this: i create de droplet, i installed vestacp and i installed certbot (letsencrypt) for nginx+ubuntu

Why when i delete a website the ram goes down to 400mb and after start to increase to 700mb

I am looking this by ssh “top” command
