Currently at wiredtree with a SSD VPS, several times a day the server becomes really slow and TOP shows that the server is almost idle(see below). I don't think its my usage.

WiredTree are a managed provider, so this is something that you should be asking them. We can't access your server so we can't provide much help.

Check cron jobs
Hi
By Yourself You can check the cronjobs:
crontab -e
or look into files:
/etc/cron.d/*
The main host load does not affect Your stats - so even If the main host is very high utilized - You should not observe it on Your VPS stats.

It`s less more what I mean.
The stats like top, vmstat etc inside the VM should not be affected by the activity of the hosting system - unless it is over killed
So it`s really hard to determine from VM If the whole hosting machine is utilized highly.
When You see high load inside the VM in my opinion it`s generated by system activity within the VM - not the hosting system - thats what I was going to say

It often is quite easy to determine from within your own container whether the load you are seeing is due to your container itself or from the node (from another container or containers).
On a VPS node, the first resource to be highly utilized is disk I/O. If your VPS's load is high, but CPU utilization is low, and you see a high %iowait, there is a very good chance that other containers are affecting yours. This can be confirmed via iotop (or vmstat on an OpenVZ VPS). If there is not heavy I/O in your container, then the high load is caused by other containers on the node.
