Keep in mind i have 9 normal blogs on the server and the one wp tube for a total of less than 10k traffic per day right now as they are very new.

The bottom line is when there is a problem with server overload shouldn't the hosting company at least email the client to say "we are suspending your sites because you are overloading the server"

Seems reasonable to me.
Why should they wait for you when you're disrupting service for their customers? What if you sent an email to your host because their server was slow, and they told you "We are waiting for our other customer to respond because his website is using too many resources."

Upgrade to a dedicated server if you don't want to have to worry resource usage.
