Ran the command from the tutorial you linked, and the results were:

Code: 
# netstat -atun | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sed -e '/^$/d' |sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Ran it again a few minutes later and it was all gone:

So I don't think it's a DDoS..I keep thinking it has to do with my configurations since its showing PHP-FPM as the CPU hog, but you brought up a good point regarding someone else using up resources so I'll send a support ticket regarding that.

Thanks so far everyone who has replied. Any other ideas guys?
LuDo8 Reviewed by LuDo8 on . High CPU Usage on VPS Hey guys, I get a lot of CPU spikes and I'm not quite sure how to fix it. http://i.lulzimg.com/2e85d176e2.jpg http://i.lulzimg.com/5b3174e9bc.jpg It constantly goes from very low 0-2% to 50-99% as you can see from the two screenshots. Its a 3GB 3 CPU Core VPS on Centos 5 64bit, Nginx, APC, and MySQL hosting about 2 wordpress sites with a combined daily traffic of about 6k UV/day. For the VPS specs I know for a fact that is plenty of power for just 6k traffic. And the port Rating: 5
