Server Memory

« on: January 06, 2006, 01:42:37 PM »

Hello,

I use dedicated plan #1 with 512MB of RAM. I'm not very experienced with Linux administration so I want to ask is this a normal memory usage for this kind of configuration with Apache/MySQL running? Sites are working perfectly and CPU is usually idle 90% or more, but I'm curious is it normal to have only 32MB of RAM free?

free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 492 459 32 0 78 231 -/+ buffers/cache: 149 342 Swap: 1019 26 993

That's normal. It doesn't make sense to leave vast areas of memory unused so it is used for the disk cache. The memory listed as 'cached' in your post is effectively free, it can be cleared quickly if required. As you can see, your swap is barely being used so you don't have a memory shortage problem.

How much will it cost if additional RAM is needed on plan #1, say per 512MB?

Thanks
