In some occasions, all the services of the server (including ssh) stop. It happens arbitrarily and when checking the logs, the only suspicious thing I find is located in the log DirectAdmin (/var/log/directadmin/system.log), where I find the following message: ... 2014:06:20-10:42:01: httpd...

what is the context in the log?
example from post.
2014:06:20-10:42:01: httpd reloaded
2014:06:20-10:42:05: signal TERM received. Waiting for children to exit
2014:06:20-10:42:05: Clean shutdown successful
It means in general something is terming the process. Could be a memory issue could be lots of stuff. Which process are we speaking of?
Is it a VPS like here ?

Here is what they are
Termination Signals (The GNU C Library)
www.gnu.org
Macro:
int SIGTERM
The SIGTERM signal is a generic signal used to cause program termination. Unlike SIGKILL, this signal can be blocked, handled, and ignored. It is the normal way to politely ask a program to terminate.
The shell command kill generates SIGTERM by default.
