where is your wordpress db on? if its on the same vm/host, then you're probably overloaded. 1 site is fine, 2 might actually break the limit because mysql might just use up all the memory.

also, try to run a fresh second wp install, or switch to a default theme and disable all plugins to see if you still have the same issues.

Yeah that's what I thought too. I feel that my outdated plan is a little expensive too, I'm paying RM90 a year for 2gb of storage. So maybe might move or upgrade.
my WP db is hosting on the same host. site1 doesn't require much resources actually, its just a 1page html5 portfolio.

Its the WP on site2 that I'm concern about. Let me try with the fresh install of another WP and see. I'm actually trying to get hold of maybe a free web-host somewhere around and duplicate the WP onto that host, to see if the same issue happens.

are you running any caching for your pages? if not, then you might want to think about that. Otherwise, wordpress is hitting the db on every page load, and this easily can become very resource heavy on a 1GB machine.

I'm not sure if this works but I've maxed out my memory limit on PHP settings to 1gb.

maxed out php memory limit to 1gb? don't you only have 1gb total for your entire vm?

128mb should be plenty already. If your php limit is higher then your available physical memory, your system will start to use swap space, which is slower, and will in turn slow down your entire site.
