Running a Drupal site actually means running an application, due to its power. Like all software applications, when the load on the server begins to climb, configuration is necessary.
The first step is to find out where the Apache web server logs are, and what error messages you might be getting when "server crashes" or "goes offline". Or find out if it is even running.
It may need configuration.
The second step is to find out what is going on with MySql. The following discussion might help:
Of course, if it is because suddenly there is a huge load on your hosting and it is because your hosting is shared, you must speak to your provider; similarly if the hosting provider feels you have "exhausted your resources" or some such.
Google around, search on drupal.org. Drupal is a powerful tool, you have to learn how to administer it, or ask someone in your organization to help, or, yes, if you feel it is not worth your time studying that, pay someone to mentor you or help you, or just plain do it for you,
