    Hi,

    why its take very high ram usage ?

    That's your App, only you can know what's it's doing, how it works, and why it consumes RAM.

    if i move to dedicated server so problem will closes?

    If I take in consideration the information provided in your message, the answer is "no".

    If the problem relies to RAM usage, 4GB on the VPS or 4GB on a dedicated server , the problem will still be there.

    Now about he difference between a VPS and a Dedicated server, you can refer to this other discussion : https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/153696/vps-or-dedi-any-disadvantages-of-dedicated-servers

    ps: keep in mind that, the memory usage is made of several things, the memory effectively used by application(s) , but also read buffers & caches. The OS will consume all free memory to cache files, and speed up their access. And release this cache as apps needs more memory.

  • RAM on VPS and dedicated server is basically the same, where you see the most difference is processor efficiency. By the sound of it, your App just seems to need a little optimization if you think it shouldn't use that much RAM to run, but you gotta look at your app first.

    Switching to a dedicated server with the same 4 GB RAM will give you the exact same issue, you'll just be paying more for it. Go into your app and make some tweaks, maybe optimize your DB a little, that can make a huge difference

    On VPS You can always buy higher plan and get for example 8GB RAM, on dedi there might be a little more problem with that.
