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 very seldom contact support, but if I do, the response is always prompt and issues are always resolved.
AYK Solutions has been the server for my website for 8 or 9 years, and in all that time I have gotten nothing but expeditious, professional, friendly, and excellent service from them. I am being honest about this. They have my highest recommendations.
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.
