For some reason whenever I go to http://iotc247.com for the first time in lets say 30 minutes the initial response takes around 15-20 seconds. I have no idea why this is happening. I am running on a vps (virtuozzo from jaguarpc.com). Also could this be the cause of pages loading slow (apache).. Thank you.
DNS Slow initial response

Most likely your VPS isn't keeping any of your site in memory, and may be running so many sites as to be overloaded. So each time you select a page it has to page out memory it's using for someone else before it can delivery pages from your site.
VPSs are always slower than dedicated servers, though many times you don't notice it.

The thing is that I am only running one website.. Not big either. (Dont ask why I have a vps please, I know I don't need one and I don't plan on keeping it after the 2 months I already have it for). And what do you mean the site isn't being stored in memory? The dns isn't caching?

You said initial response, so my presumption is it only happens the first time. So DNS caching doesn't appear to be the issue.
But rather that the host server for the VPS is busy enough that it has to swap out whole sections of memory each time your page is called.
