How do you think of 70% ram usage? Is it too high?
I run mysql on a 1GB VPS and the memory usage is around 70%
I’m wondering if it is necessary to move it to another one which have more ram.
How do you folks deal with such situations?Which range of ram usage do you think is the safety zone?

Since you're doing nothing but "SELECT * FROM NULL" you should be fine.
No idea without more info. I tend to go for 20% headroom.
The questions I would always ask first is whether ram usage will increase and if there is anything you can do to reduce the amount of ram being used.
if its KVM just create a 10GB swapfile and keep going
Depends, if it's still running fine I'd say should be fine unless you get a sudden influx of traffic.

70% in most cases should be fine, even if a little on the edge. As @Lee wrote, you have to keep some headroom but, again, it all depends on your setup, what spikes do you have and what ram do you need at those moments. The details you provide are minimum. Do some calculation and observation and see if you really need more ram.
I have a couple of sites in smaller vps (512MB) that uses about 90% all the time and they work fine.
free RAM is wasted RAM , I remember I read it somewhere.
I have a 12GB VPS, like 10 GB in use but most part are just cached
You want RAM to be used, either by actively running processes or buffers/caching. I'd configure MySQL to use at least another 10% with caching/buffering (assuming this system only does MySQL) - more if things have been tuned (eg: vm.swappiness) and there's proper infrastructure practices at play.
70% should be good, just make sure you have enough swap space just in case there is a sudden need for more memory
If you are worried try zram/zswap..
If you run out of zSwap, try vSwap - it works on OpenVZ.
it depend on what you running on that box
for general case, 70% is common.
if you running out ram, use disk swap.
Download more ram is easier.
70% is a good level to be at. That means 30% is free (wasted). Bearing in mind that probably half of your 75% is also cached, you've got plenty of headroom. Upgrade to 2GB if you feel under pressure though - difference in cost will likely be only that of a cup of coffee.
Do you have the link for that please?

Their DDR4 only comes in 1.65V variants, everyone knows you need at least 2V.
70% Ram is no issue, you can always upgrade vps when it is over 90% usage.
I run some of my servers with 90% RAM usage and 3+ GB in swap 24/7. Things do get a bit slow but I can put up with it. Maybe I'm just poor...
