I have a few hosting questions. First i want to give a scenario. I have 2 wordpress mu installs at the same location. Each only contain about 60 active blogs/splogs. The top level domains have about 10-15 videos each, all the videos are hosted flvs from sponsors and not long clips. Both wordpress mu installs have light traffic total across all blogs with the total being under 10k pageviews per month for everything both sites and all blogs. Total bandwidth used between jan 1st and now 61gb. VPS Hosting plan has 512k available ram. Did get a nice deal on it, and im not looking to bash or out a host. Just want some straight answers.

Now questions. My blogs have periodically experienced outages. Sometimes i visit a blog and get blank pages. Should such a low amount traffic cause me to run out of memory on blogs? Btw, all the spolgs are rss fed, with no hosted flvs etc. and only the tlds have 20 total videos, and not much traffic.
If it is the traffic, do i need to constantly optimize the mysql databases? Is it the host? Or the script? Is wordpress mu very resource extensive? I dont really want to get a server because i dont have the traffic/sales from those sites to justify it. I did see a nice offer from securedservers.com, $48 for a starter server. Anybody use those? Any company with similar offer for comparison? Long post if you read it and have ideas please share thanks.
