I have just finished installing and setting up cPanel I have selected everything recommended in cPanel configuration wizard.. free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1024 955 68 0 0 704 -/+ buffers/cache: 251 772 Swap: 0 0 0
I only have 68 MB free memory and I have to host more than 10 websites in this VPS.. so with 68 MB memory what can be achieved ? This is a fresh installation. Kindly provide me advises on how to decrease the memory utilization.
