Hi,
Is this load normal
53.19 46.61 34.24
for an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5420 @ 2.50GHz
it doesn't seem to affect my sites' page loading time but i am big concerned because of the high values.
I keep watching it in WHM and it's been almost like that for a few hours now.

It depends on what's causing the load to spike and why.

What processes running are resource intensive? What's your ram and swap usage?

I am having a reseller account so it's hard to find out. All i can see are the server specs mentioned above and RAM which is 16GB. Just hoping for an answer from my host and probably soon i am going to start searching for a new one..

Wow I saw a load like that yesterday at work, was a mail server problem. Talk about a LOT of spam! But seeing as you are a reseller if the hosts hasn't fixed it after a few hours, I would look for a new host.

What issues are you experiencing? if any?
Mostly was affecting sites with mysql databases. Loading slow. Plain html seems ok. Right now all sites are inaccessible and checkdns.net is giving me this errors:
Error connecting to HTTP server www.***********[xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 80 : Connection refused.
Error connecting to mail server www.***********[xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 25 : Connection refused.
Edit: Sites are back online, i am just keeping an eye to the load

Curious who's your host?
Since you are a reseller, you'll have to wait until someone with access to the server find and fix the issue. Which could be anything.
You don't have SSH access do you?

Ouch, no they aren't normal. At least, they aren't sustainable. There's a reason that cPanel/WHM defaults loads with a red light at any load over 2..

It's just a default value, not necessary to be load over 2
It can be 8 with a Dual Quad Core server ;)

No thats not normal. It looks like your server is going crazy (did you try a reboot?) or the system is so bogged down by another customer its become painfully slow.
If a reboot won't fix it only the provider can. You might ask them to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen again.
