You need more RAM. You can upgrade just the memory, or upgrade the cores/hdd/bandwidth along with it. You can do this on the order page by selecting what you want your VDS to have extra, and selecting "This is a change to an existing server".

What plan are you currently using?

If you have to run off SWAP, you don't have enough memory. You should check your memory usage via 'free -m'.

Just to add to this topic. Nfo doesn't have swap memory by default.

It's not really necessary or recommended. If you use swap, it's easiest to do it through a file and not a partition.
Thought I'd add that for anyone that reads this in the future that may be curious as to why.
