I'm using WHM on a VPS and am trying to work out whether or not I need to upgrade the hardware.

I've currently got 4GB of memory. When I look at the daily process log it seems I have a site averaging around 30% memory usage and another averaging around 15% on the same server. So that's an average of 45% across the day (there are a couple of smaller sites, too), which I suspect means it'll be spiking a lot higher than that? I am experiencing slow loading sites on that server occasionally, hence my interest.

What would be a good % total average memory used for all the sites on a server? As a rule of thumb?

Not necessarily - I would start putting up a performance log to see daily highs.

SLow sit eloading can be recompilation due to turning off the site in IIS. I would check that. Again, the performance log will come into an analysis.

50% is not too high - it is borderline. If you expect growth, I would upgrade to 8gb... but still analyze whether this fixes the reasons now.

80% - that's a worry. 70% - nearly a worry 60% - if there's no expected growth then fine.
