I think your host must help you to solve your issue.
What host are you with?

depends on the servers of the hosting company you bought your server from. Some hosting company oversells their servers for like 20 users on 1 VPS so that an example of overselling which makes the server is slow.

If you have wordpress blog, you can use W3 total cache plugin which will greatly improve your overall site speed.

Exactly..It is nothing you can do..I think the company which is hosting the particular site for you is the sole responsible for this..Try checking with them once..

-SDD technology
-NIC
-HDD
-RAM
-CPU
These are some factors which can affect server load and speed.
And to check speed you can use "what is my server's speed" site, that will show you the current speed of server.

Not only the hardware. The software is also impotent likes ngnix or litespeed can increase the server loading.

Hi,

It depends on various things such as CPU, RAM and the applications you use. Whatever applications you use, make sure that you must use latest that will ensure the best performance.

The main thing that influences the running period is size of site content and data. It will take too long, time for loading if your site contains a massive amount of information. So we have to optimize it to run faster on server .

Their can be many reasons for making a website faster beside CPU, ram etc you mentions. Other things includes your website CMS for example if you choose wordpress it is very light weight but if you choose vb forum then your speed will be not that much.

These are the things that determine your sever speed:
CPU, Processor, server location, how much shared hosting accounts hosted on one server. You can find speed of your website using online tools like tools.pingdom.com to get check your website speed.

The more the better.
All of the factors play important role in making your website load faster. It is not dependent of a single factor.

Even how you code a script can make your site load faster or slower.
