It seems your vserver provider sold you a pretty braindamaged product.
I run most of my things on the Linux vserver, which is effectively
invisible.

In case you're stuck with that provider, you might try installing lighttpd
instead of Apache, which has a lower memory footprint.

It seems that I'm charging too little. I thought 5 EUR/month for
a Linux VServer was a reasonable deal. You can get a dedicated
hardware server for some 30 EUR/month, so perhaps I would switch
providers.
