Major Server load issues

this has been kicking my tail for a minute now. I cant figure out what the issue is. i am on a vps server. i can have up to 40 peeps on at a time and the server is fine. i don't get why this issue happens some times. its been high with just 10 members on.

Its a VPS, meaning more then likely your sites activity is not playing a major role in the loads, perhaps their is another user on the machine causing the loads. That is the problem with VPS's is its really just a glorified shared hosting account. Costing you more, but not giving you as much benefits. (Depending on the Host really) and how they divide a server up.

I would contact your host and have them see who is eating up all the resources,.

Yes, Thats the only thing you can do. Contact your host and ask them to find out the VPS using higher resources.
