One thing you could do is check for the MaxClients setting. Run the following commands as root:
1. # grep MaxClients /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
MaxClients output here
2. ps axf|grep httpd|wc -l
Actual clients output here

If that does not seem to work, your load is down and everything else seems to be running fine, you may want to check the size of your logs as they can dramatically decrease your server's performance. To do this, run the following from root:
# cd /usr/local/apache/logs/ or /usr/local/apache/domlogs <-- change your directory to the apache logs directory.
# ll -h <-- Will show the size of your files in that directory.
# rm -dfr /path/to/logs (ex: rm -dfr /usr/local/apache/domlogs/logfilename) <-- Deletes the domlogs file.
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
Dedicated Semi-Managed Server Review I've been using AYKSolutions for about 2 years now and their support and servers have been great. They assisted me with the transition of all my websites and databases from my old server onto their system with no problem. If I ever need them for support or a change they respond fast and always keep me up to date with the status of my support ticket. I highly recommend using this company especially if you're looking for someone to assist with server management. Best of all their cost is great!
