I think the real hard limit (without a recompile) for ServerLimit is actually 20,000. He'll probably be fine just changing his config files as I doubt he needs that.
...Though the host may not be managed, by giving you this run around and loopy explanations it is possibly indicative of a poor quality host...unless they did explain it well but you misunderstood. As the others have said this is a two minute job which can be done remotely over ssh. I knew how to do such a thing when I was like 14 years old. Your host out to know this too!
