split_joel: I agree, but 2 domains with wordpress out collecting a ton of feeds can really kill a server dead... the more posts that are in a wordpress database, the worse the performance of most RSS feeding software becomes. Wordpress is very, very unoptimized! Check out a site that has the time and query count visible on their pages... wordpress is a hog unless configured and modded very carefully with the right plugins and options (and potentially one database index tweak).
On a lower end server running a couple of hundreds virtual accounts, it would be really easy for this to turn into a problem.
Unlimited means unlimited... but no matter what, you have to be smart about what you expect. There is not really such a thing as unlimited... you are limited by the host's connection, the speed of their routing equipment, the size of the hard disk in the server, the processor, the board, the speed of the net connection, and the way the server is configured (amoungst others). Loading up a bunch of stuff onto a virtual because it is "unlimited" just isn't a good business move.
Having said that, the host is certainly suckass for not helping you move. Proves they really don't give a crap.
