That is what we call a "loaded question". Without knowing what you are running on what site(s) and what your traffic is, no one could possibly answer that question. Even knowing the answers to the above, it would take reviewing your statistics reports, access logs, error logs, etc.

Unfortunately, you have to "peel back the onion", one layer at a time, until you figure what is going on.

My initial reaction is that your server was compromised and being used in a botnet. How to figure that out? I haven't a clue. That is where you need help from your hosting company.

If you have more than one site on your VPS you should be able to determine which of the sites is causing the problem by going into your VPS control panel and looking at the resources used.
