 * Hi,
    What I find annoying is that the many plugins, as wonderful as they are,
   do not give an indication as to the memory resources they may require and demand
   to run on average.
 * My hosting company charges me on server memory usage, and so I set it low as 
   much as possible. However, I run frequently into resource problems (not enough
   memory) and do not know which plugin might be overloading my limits.
 * What do people do about that? Can WordPress require plugin developers to publicize
   a minimum estimate of their plugin’s memory usage?

 * I hope you’re saving a TON of money by hosting that way. It seems to be really
   unique.
 * Whatever works for you!
 * You’ll laugh because I’m going to suggest a plugin for your situation, but there
   are plugins that let you monitor memory and set limits.
 * Check out these:

 * They’re really handy and help with your exact problem at hand. Granted, you may
   have to spend a little bit to install them then sort out what you want to do,
   but it is worth it!
