IMO way too many forum sections. Start small for sections and then add if needed as things grow.

Can't say much on the style as it is just the default style right now.

You should be just fine on a hostgator account. I've been using them for years without any issues, though I use a reseller but still shouldn't matter as long as you fit what you have for resources. Down the road if the site grows you will probably have to step up but you can cross that bridge when that time comes.
