      The free command is the most simple and easy to use command to check memory usage on linux. Here is a quick example

      $ free -m
      total used free shared buffers cached
      Mem: 7976 6459 1517 0 865 2248
      -/+ buffers/cache: 3344 4631
      Swap: 1951 0 1951

      The m option displays all data in MBs. The total os 7976 MB is the total amount of RAM installed on the system, that is 8GB. The used column shows the amount of RAM that has been used by linux, in this case around 6.4 GB. The output is pretty self explanatory. The catch over here is the cached and buffers column. The second line tells that 4.6 GB is free. This is the free memory in first line added with the buffers and cached amount of memory.

      Linux has the habit of caching lots of things for faster performance, so that memory can be freed and used if needed.
      The last line is the swap memory, which in this case is lying entirely free.

    Don’t buy from them, is a waste of money, i’ve been with them for 5 months, they are incredible, when something happens they happy tell you that is because of you, if you don’t use (because is practically unusable) the vps (they will suspend or shutdown and tell you crap ).

    I have 3 vps’s (one in UK and two in US) with them (complete waste of money).

    Ok, well where do I start? I have had a horrible experience, since I have purchased my VPS from HostUS.

    I order one of the 6GB VPS in the ATL DC. It took them a few hours to approve the order and set it up. They sent me all the info, I logged in, SSH’d in and connected and started using it and kept getting ‘Connection reset by peer’ in SSH, over and over again. So I opened up a ticket and they didn’t know what to do. Finally someone jumped in and said that I had gotten someone else’s IP and that they assigned me another IP. So then with the new IP, I connected and started working on my server and getting it setup and again… the same thing started happening, over and over again… then they had to build an entire new VPS for me and then assign me a 3rd IP… well… I was connected and had almost everything setup on there and boom… disconnected right in the middle of using it… and it appears that now my IP has been banned from the network for like the last 24+ hours.. as I can not connect at all to my VPS, it appears down… and I also can not even get to the Host.US website, as it shows that the HostUS website is down and I keep getting a ‘CloudFlare’ website is offline page. I did get a message from them, saying that they were under DDOS attacks, but that yesterday and here we are today and everything is STILL down.

    So.. it appears that apparently they can’t get the DDOS attack under control and are just riding it out, who knows how long it will last, in the mean time, we are all suffering with down servers, websites, etc.

    Not good, not good at all.

    You may want to err on the side of caution when choosing HostUS.US as your host, as I have only been a customer for about 48-72 hours now.. and since signing up, I have NOT be able to use my VPS, but for a couple of hours, if that. The rest of the time, I’ve been down for technically 3 days now.

    This is NOT a good way to start doing business with someone and definitely puts a bad taste in my mouth about this company and the future business and our relationship together.

    I have actually already requested a refund and asked them to shut down the VPS, so I can take my business elsewhere and they have yet to respond to that request, only with something like “We are under DDOS attacks and will respond back soon..” and that was it.

    Yeah, well… who knows if they are coming back or not or how long it’s going to be.

    This is very disappointing. They can atleast go into their billing system on PayPal or Stripe or wherever and refund me and then offer me several free months or a free year of hosting for their screw ups with the 3 mis-assigned IPs and also the DDOS attack for which they couldn’t mitigate… I think for all the screw ups that I’ve had since signing up.. something more needs to be offered other than just 1 day free, that’s not going to cut it.

    At this point… I would think twice before you signed up with HostUS.

    I don’t recommend this company. The servers were down for over a week and often go down as the above comment says, due to apparent DDoS attacks. Whatever the case, it’s not worth the effort

    I’ve now got three of these offers…
    2 x 768MB $12/annum, one in London, one in Washington DC and 1 x 6GB in London.

    Havnt had an issue yet – speeds are consistently fast, the little portal they give you is useful for keeping a quick eye on things without installing any panels yourself or logging in and the rebuilds into different distros is nice and quick.

    Cant beat the price if I’m honest…

    $12 per year for a 1/3rd more ram than Digital Ocean at $5 a MONTH!

    Will come back continually as I require more. Thanks

    I’ve been using their services since march and so far so good! Had only an issue during a DDOS attack but that was a one time thing. Server speeds are really good and I/O speeds are also amazing.

    Support ticket time has always been lower than 30 minutes with me, only time it took longer was during the DDOS attacks, probably due to the higher ticket rate.

    Just upgraded from the 768MB RAM to the 2GB RAM, 4 Cores @ 3.5GHz and a 1Gbit link. The process was really smooth, sent in a ticket to the sales/billing department which got answered in less than 20 minutes, and in 30-40 minutes total I was already with my new upgraded service, the price? Had to pay only for the difference for the remainder days of the annual plan, pretty nice deal.

    Just hope they keep up with the great work.

    Suspended suspended and suspended unless I run a clear install or if I keep my server shutdowned!!
