How can I reduce the Usage of swap space by my server.Actually when I monitor My server It always shows 94% swap space used.I want to Reduce it .Please help me how can I Reduce it?

You'll need to go through the processes that are running on your machine. Disable any services you aren't using or don't need. Go through httpd.conf (if you're running Apache) and tweak some settings (hint: look at MaxSpareServers and MinSpareServers). The Apache docs have tips on tuning your server for performance and memory usage.

Finally, if this doesn't help enough, you probably need more RAM. There's really not much around this if you are just running a lot of services. More RAM will definatly help fix the situation, and since you're currently using quite a lot of swap space, you will notice a HUGE performance increase with more RAM.

The usage of swap memory tells you that you need to add some more memory. So add some :)
