That doesn't make a lot of sense: if it's anything like the deal I have
the box is essentially a User-mode linux "box" to which you have full
access, I don't believe there's anything about processes in my T&Cs. It
might be that you have some user limits set but if you have root access
you should be able to change those.

To the OP: I'd be surprised if 64MB were enough: the default "maximum
memory" setting for the Java VM is 64MB (IIRC) and I had to increase it
when uploading a large(ish - only 8MB) file on a fairly low-use server.
You might get away with it though.

Might be worth looking at one of the cheaper "real" hosting providers,
how much are you paying for your virtual host?
