If you are running Apache, trying switching to Nginx. Thats what did it for me
It is hard to comment without some one gets the access to check your WordPress configuration and plugins… It’s often some faulty plugin installation or settings causes system resources to overload…
Best practice would be adding a 512MB Swap file…
Follow a basic guide here, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04 but too much swap may also create same issue, so do not use more than 1GB, which I would say max you may have…
Use a caching plugin… W3TC would be a good option, free plugin and helps a lot to reduce load on server by caching static content !!!
But the amount of data you are talking about, it seem the website is way to big by the way… See if adding swap and W3TC for WordPress helps… If not, may be you really need higher plans !!
