Hi, I just changed to VPS from shared. The reason I did this was my shared account was supended one time - i recieved the follwing message from Lunarpages:-

...we were forced to suspend your account because of excessive
resources... below is summary of your usage.

capoeirascience.com   CPU 4.86   MEM 22.47   MYSQL PROCESSES 0.0

Top Process   %CPU 11.0 capoeirascience.com] [/capoeira%20master.mpg]
Top Process   %CPU 5.5   capoeirascience.com] [/capoeira%20master.mpg]

So I changed to VPS. Im worried becuase after half a day of the site being up my memory usage is - used: 101.87 MB (19.9%). Is this percentage of total used a monthly or daily limit? If its monthly then I am in trouble after half a day!

My site is based on capoeira (brazilian martial art) videos which people can download as MPEGS. I get 800/900 uniques a day though I can boost that by half again by advertising. I run a forum which gets mostly ignored and transmit around 400 GB month of videos.

Is there anything special I need to do to in Plesk? Max users sounds like it might need attention. Im really not tech. On shared I set it up and it ran fine without me doing anything more than code in basic HTML.

Thanks for any help or advice u can offer me..

The percentage is how much of the available memory you're using at this moment.

So, you can't use too much in a month, or a day;  You can use too much at any given moment.  It's not quite the same as bandwidth.

That is incorrect, since she has a VPS she can use as much memory as she has available, a VPS is its own little isolated virtual server. Also keep in mind that linux is going to use all the memory so memory use should be near 100% and that is not a problem.

You, guys, are talking about the same thing. So just to summarize for Andy. If you see about 20% of memory used in your VPS, you don't need to worry, because this is the current (not monthly or daily) memory utilization and it means that you have about 80% of memory free for your site(s) to grow up.

I hope this helps.
