Looks like a hacked website - do you have any wordpress installations running?

You need to give good amount of details for us to help.

As ScIT mentioned, you may have a compromised site.

How many domains are you hosting ?
Suspend domains one by one, observe your load after each suspended domain and see if load normalized. You will get the offending domain.
