nobody 21424 0.0 0.2 153544 44248 ? S 20:57 0:00 \_ /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -k start

Hello,

You have high traffic website hosted on your server and due to that you are getting all these httpd process in your process list. You can check your httpd server status through WHM >> Server Status >> Apache Status

You can try to stablize your server by installing cloudlinux on your server. As it will make a ceiling on every website.
