Advertising 1gb of burst memory while at the same time knowing that your server cannot support it for a single user is lying. It is dishonest and I would avoid any company that makes such false claims.
If you can't offer the so called burst memory than don't. Just offer guaranteed memory.

What happens if you have a server with 4 GB of RAM, you sell exactly 8 packages with 512 RAM each without any burst RAM. But all 8 clients at most only use 256 RAM worth of RAM power each, so you have 256 RAM * 8 = 2 GB of server RAM free... so you undersold the server and minimized profit margins. As long as your customers receive the best care possible, why is maximizing profit (sensibly) a bad thing? Most companies (even public) always try to maximize profits, and often that is done at the expense of consumers.
I am not sure what the reality is but I don't think most clients even use the resources allocated to them?
