61% RAM usage, nothing on vps server
Posted by Administrator
I’ve talked with the technicians from the company I have a VPS with now and it seems that they tell me it’s pretty normal for a 256MB RAM server.
I have HyperVM + LXAdmin installed on default, in which there are no websites and no configuration done to the site.
It currently is using 61% of RAM available (256MB) and I haven’t done anything with it yet.
Is it really normal for it to be using this much RAM, and might there be any solution for this?

This is normal. Linux servers will always sit on RAM for caching. As long as you are not going into your burstable RAM regualarly, I wouldn’t worry much about it. Linux servers “sit” on RAM, you have to also take into consideration, although a small amount, running LXAdmin is still using your RAM.
