Please hold while I telepathically log into your VPS to see what could be going wrong. While I do that, can you post most information for people here who don't have telepathy?
What virtualization are you using? Show me what processes you're running.
Possible causes:
-KVM Uses more RAM(kernel stuff that's normally not needed in openvz)
-More services installed(check chkconfig and disable unneeded services)
-And much more, but you don't give much information(are you including cache into used memory?)
Use original LEA instructions
Try stopping rsyslog... I've been able to reduce memory usage to 8-9MB with CentOS 6.4 on OpenVZ by replacing rsyslog with syslog-ng (available on EPEL). Also, make sure all non-necessary services are turned off (chkconfig is your friend).
inb4: "Use debian, it uses less memory..." While this statement is true with a default install, a fine-tuned CentOS can be just as good memory-wise (and better for everything else :P -FLAMEWAR!-).
