1. Entry Process

I'm not sure what that means -- please explain?
2. Virtual Memory

We don't impose a limit for virtual memory but you will need to add it yourself:

- Ubuntu
- CentOS
3. Number of Processes
The default value depends on the OS/kernel you're using but you can change it yourself. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9361816/maximum-number-of-processes-in-linux.
4. I/O Usage Limits

We do not limit I/O usage.
5. Max no of files

That depends on your filesystem. You can find out how many inodes are available, used, and free by running 
df -i

An "Entry Process" is how many scripts(PHP,JSP..Etc) you have running at a single time

No, we do not limit that. You get a virtual machine with full root access so you can change any limits that might exist.
