Chances are that the new server they put you on has less RAM available to PHP because they've either not tuned it to use more than the (very low) defaults set up by a new(or upgraded) PHP installation, or they're intentionally limiting users on your particular hosting plan. Either way they should increase the limit to something reasonable. Especially when, as you say, the problem did not exist before they moved you to a different server.
