Actually you can get low end dedicated servers in about the same
price range as mid-level VPS servers which will give substantially better
performance than the VPS server.

Since you are running cpanel (I presume else you wouldn't be here) then
you should be running at least bare minimum a mid-range VPS server as
the low end cheap VPS servers do not have enough resources to adequately
support running Cpanel although there a number of VPS hosts that try to sell
customers those servers anyway which is just asking for big trouble!

If you can't afford a higher end VPS server then I would recommend that
you not use Cpanel but instead using another very popular control panel
that supports lower end VPS servers better. I'm not going to name names
here but it's pretty easy to figure out.

My personal recommendation to you though if that is your situation is to
dump the VPS entirely and go back to shared hosting. A regular shared
hosting account will probably cost you less and will give you substantially
better performance than your VPS account. You can get a reseller account
for probably about the same as you are paying now but without the very
limited resource issues that plague your current configuration.

To move in the other direction, low end dedicated servers generally start
at around $40 US and from there on up to about $100, you'll find servers
that overlap VPS server prices with much better performance and resources.

Any way you cut it though, multimedia audio and video, is a bad idea for
any VPS server especially alongside cpanel which will eat up most of the
resources of a VPS on its own unless it's a higher end VPS server. If you
feel you must stick with a VPS, my recommendation would cut all extraneous
services such as Spamassassin and actually the mail server itself if you can
live without it and get a 3rd party mail service like mail.com. Strip everything
down to just the minimal you need for your sites and nothing more making as
much room possible for available memory with the lowest impact on the system.
This will help with some of your memory constraints and you can talk to your
VPS host about increasing your burst and guarantee limits but just the nature
of VPS servers as they are probably won't help too much even if they do
adjust your account configuration a bit.
