Most of the people who prefer Linux Hosting packages because Linux is considered more secure and reliable than Windows. Most clients expect their VPS servers to run on their best since resources are comparatively less. In order to get the best performance from a VPS there are few guidelines to be followed :-
MySQL should be configured properly
Configuring MySQL cache sizes appropriately is the best way to increase increase the available RAM on the server. Decrease the cache size if MySQL server is using to much if the memory. Going against if MySQL is too slow with larger requests then increase the cache size.
System Service should be disabled
Disable all the unwanted services from your VPS and the performance will automatically enhance. Services which are never used will harm your server in many ways, first of all it will use important CPU resources. Even worse than using resources these services can cause attacks on your server. Best solution for these services is to disable them.
Proper Apache Configuration
Apache is making many administrators and clients confused about the proper configuration. Check every setting of Apache properly and do not forget to adjust MiniSpareservers and StartServers. These will help in releasing a lot of memory.
Clean Modules
There are many modules enabled in software like Apache. These modules are not at all necessary and instead they eat a lot of memory. Go through the configuration files of Apache and decide what services you need. Disable all extra modules that came along with VPS software packages. Configuration of VPS will also allow you to decide whether FrontPage support is needed or not.
