I might have had high expectations, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask of experienced server support staff to be able to determine that when RAM usage is max’d out at over 99% all the time it’s going to cause intermittent dedicated server problems: at the time I didn’t realize that could cause problems with Apache, but not other areas of the server which is what I was experiencing

All I got from them is it’s not their problem, it’s an unmanaged server!
