I know of the people complaining of hostgator... they are just gready... they actually belive that they can get unlimited bandwidth for 13$/month... lol... Their complaints are kind of: "I burned less than 1/4 of my bandwidth (meaning about 200-400 Gb) yet they suspended my account... I think I lost the 4 bucks I paid for their service"
Hostgator's policy is to oversell and at the point where people start to get massive traffic to force their hand to upgrade to dedicated... (they have some fine print in the TOS whe variables like "CPU usage" and "allocated RAM" - that the user cannot check - are involved)...
But if you keep an eye on bandwidth, you're safe with them... I never burned more than 50Gb/month with free sites (at least not in the past 2 years) so if they are not blacklisted I'll give it a go as I just happen to have a couiple of unused domains on that account...

Thanks for your reply.
