Hi Dantes
I don't see any processes in your log which spent too many resources. I advise you to ask your hosting about more detailes. Would they provide you with any additional info about overloading on your server?

they said is oxwall
when mysql cpu ussage is about 9% the site run fast
but for i dont know what reason now is 15 to 20% some times 30% and has only 30 users online
last week i have to reboot the vps 4 days in a row with 50 to 55 users online
im missing something?
i pay a lot here to that service and still is no good
do i have to change to arvixe for example? to have a more stable and support more users online?

VPS is not an optimal dedicated solution. You don't have full control and real server's loading usage statistic because another sites are hosted on the same server. You can try to migrate to a dedicated server from the same hosting provider.

a dedicated server is a very nice solution IF i can pay it :P
but i cant
how many users can run at the same time in arvixe for example?
without crush the site?
i cant even install instant messages because server collapse
do you have an optimal settings?
a recommended plan in a recommended hosting?
i use arvixe before oxwall with dolphin and too many restriction and if too many users online site crush too
really need to know an not too expensive solution or need to know what im doing wrong to set a better performance
thanks

my hosting said 2 things
1: is a mini vps and is exclusive just for my site
2: vps crush with  maximum memory and input/ouput disk usage

Well, there are can be two reason :)
- Your server resources isn't enough when you have max users online;
- If you have Instant Chat installed with 30 or more users online, then you VPS can be overloaded, because chat requires a lot of server's resources.

i dont have instant chat, i install once and in 1 hour site collapse
ok so....
there is any minimum configuration settings (hardware) specified anywhere to compare my vps settings with the minimum ?
(im in chile and is very difficult to get good price here)
is arvixe a good solution? or have to buy an expensive hosting plan?
thanks

Sorry, but I can't assist you with that cos don't have enough system administration knowledges. You can try to install nginx or someting another light proxy server or upgrade your hosting from VPS to dedicated server.
