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

Any competent admin would merely disable the offending cron jobs or disable the ability of the user to schedule cron jobs until it is cleared up. Suspending the websites is a little ridiculous and not necessary.
I've noticed that sometimes reps will use stuff like this to try to "shake you down" and get you to upgrade. I remember one trying to tell me that the reason my sites were slow (on a shared host) is that I needed to upgrade to their premium offering since I had more traffic than before. But the reality was that I had 80% of the traffic I normally had due to the sites being slow. He was only trying to get me to pay more.
