Am unable to run software as getting out of memory errors. To fix this need swap disk (or more ram!)
But am hitting this problem in creating swap disk (logged in as root):

swapon /usr/swap-file
swapon: /usr/swap-file: Operation not permitted

Any help much appreciated.

You would not be able to do this a on a virtual dedicated server, however, you would be able to do this on a dedicated server. While I would suggest contacting our Server Support using the instructions in the following article, http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/4590, to review your specific account, you may also consider upgrading your virtual dedicated to increase the RAM.

Here’s how to upgrade:
