SH126 Server Load

I don't know if this is a problem but thought i'd best check it out. We use our hosting to run a vBulletin forum and on the main page of the vBulletin Admin Control Panel there are server load statistics (as im sure some of you will already know).

When we first signed up the server load was usually 0.xx. Lately i've noticed that the server load is much higher around 3/5. I don't know if this is horrificaly high or not even high at all but my concern came as we recently updated our forum and added more arcade games etc. and was wondering if this was causing the server load increases and if so are we using up to much?

I really don't know much about this (how servers work etc.) and was told its the serverload statistics in the Admin Control Panel were of the whole server and not just what our site is using up, which makes sense really hence the name but as i was saying i really don't know much about this so if someone in the know or surpass staff could just answer my queries that would be great.

Our hosting account is: wrestling-365.com (incase you need that).

The load average shown is for the entire server, and not just your account.

13:33:03 up 31 days, 14:23, 1 user, load average: 6.05, 4.92, 4.76

The load right now is acceptable. All the sites I've checked are responding quickly, so there is no cause for concern.

Ok thanks. Is there any way of seeing how much just our account is using up? How much is considered unacceptabel by Surpass?

cPanel only allows the administrator to view resource usage statistics. We'll get in touch with you if your account is found to be using excessive resources.
