Upgrading VPS

[Aaron]

If you are using all the RAM in your VPS, then yes it could definitely speed up the load times on your VPS! If you are not using all your RAM, then it might be something else which is slowing down your site.

At the mo im on 512 windows vps... but google webmaster tools reckon that my homepage takes 9.5 seconds to load so i wanna know if theres anything i can do to improve this.

Advice would be appreciated as well... im a bit of a Newb on server management haha

Hey Ryan,

You can use the Task Manager to get an idea how much your system in paging. If you find your system is paging a lot, then you may want to look into adding some more RAM.
