The limit is a purely arbitrary one which is applied to any databases they host on behalf of their customers. It's not a limit of the database itself, most probably just some form of quota system. But it looks (at an initial pass) like they're fairly inflexible about it; we can have as many 1 GB databases as we like, but (so far) there's no mention yet of anything larger. Using a different database doesn't win you anything.
I'm currently running up a sand pit environment at home so I can restore the backup I made when I got home and have a play with it, see what the options are.
Trouble is, it's been a while since I had to do any of this, and some of the neurons are rusty and need some oil....
