I just wanted to throw my
in.
It seems like DWHS gave you notification that you were using too many server resources before they shut you off.

If that was the case, that should have been your first warning to either upgrade or leave. I have dealt with Wordpress users on Virtual Hosting machines by owning a Hosting Company and they do infact take up a large amount of server resources. If you try and force 100+ Wordpress blogs onto a $10/mo account your going to run into issues. Hell you try and put 100 Wordpress blogs onto a $99/mo dedicated server your going to have issues (assuming all are setup doing crontabs at the same time pulling rss feeds).
The lesson is that a majority of hosting companies oversell, its a known fact even highly professional places like MCI and Level3 oversell their circuits. Thats how the hosting business works. I know some people will give you everything under the sun when it comes to hosting, but you really need to ask yourself if it is too good to be true.
Also I would highly suggest you research companies before you commit with one to host your sites. I know there are alot of hosting companies here on GFY with great reps and great support staff. Take the advice of the support rep who tells you "your using too many resources" and upgrade your account. If you feel you are getting cheated then move onto another hosting company.
Good luck on your future hosting
