I have a technical question for a hosting expert.
Currently I have a self managed host at burst.net. This server is Centos 6.4 with one core and 1GB of RAM.
My plan was to host my girlfriends wordpress blog, prosper202, plus all landing pages that I needed. I did all this and installed nginx, transferred wordpress blog, created a sample landing page and installed prosper202 to a subdomain. After that I also installed citadel email server. Everything seemed fine. After a clean restart I had about 50% of RAM still free. After I visited my sites and did some clicking around, numbers went up, but didn't come down. Multiple php-fpm processes were created, but they didn't terminate even a few minutes after I stopped browsing my sites.
Is there something wrong with my configuration?
Is wordpress blog and landers on one web server a bad idea?
I thought that I should do a clean reinstall of everything on my server, because I got some ugly problems when I tried to install memcache.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Should I do a clean reinstall, or do you see something that is obviously wrong here?
Thank you very much for your answers.
Putting wordpress on the same server that you host prosper or lander is the worst idea ever.
Being so popular , wordpress, people always find exploits to it. So it means they will be able to upload shells to your servers.
I learned my lesson the hard way, and couple affiliates I talk to had the same experience.
Put as less scripts as possible to servers that "handle" your money campaigns.
Ok, that sounds reasonable. I'll just move girlfriends stuff to a shared hosting and run only Prosper202 + Landing pages on my server.
Thank you for your help.
^^What bborck said
wordpress is full of exploits..
i was talking to a script kiddie the other day and was talking about all the wordpress holes out there.
He said the problem is that anyone and their mom can create a plugin that's not secured properly.
If you're using WordPress and looking for secure themes, check out studiopress.com. They write secure plugins/themes.
