you mite find cheaper but i bet you want get the support and back up these guys give out.
things other hosts charge you for downdownhost has done for free.
a saving cost so far is around $350 or more they have not charged me to help out and install stuff when i was really crap at installing hacks and my board.
by the way i have read heaps of posts on other forums about hostgator and now no there over rated sorry.
I would recommend my webhost.
I have been with them for more than 4 years and is still hosting my site with them. They are very responsive to all my support questions. I seldom run into any problem and server uptime is very good. After all, they have been in the hosting business since 2001. I would say their service is reliable and come highly recommended. Check them out at http://www.mxhub.com .
Based on the good info I heard I tried to give Host Gator my business, but they are just so darn busy. I have been trying to contact "Chad B - the Vbulletin guy" about moving my site and 60 other domains to them since Sunday (4 days). Unfortunately the hold time of 12-18 minutes for sales and support has been too painful...
I hope they are worth it. Hoefully he will read this and contact me.
I seriously suggest you give LunarPages a try -- they are great!
Support is better than you can wish for, and is one of the main reasons why I would recommend them. Also, there hosting is great, just check out the 'basic plan'.
I have reviewed the hosting plan of hostgator , i spoke to them yesterday .board will be shutdown if we have more than 25 members at a time
I verified this.

Welcome to HostGator Live Chat! You are now chatting with 'Priscilla T.'
Priscilla T.: Welcome to HostGator, how may I assist you?
Me: Hi Priscilla. I am running a web forum, and I heard good things about HostGator. On the other hand, I have also heard that HostGator shutsdown accounts that have moer than 25 users, and send more than 200 emails an hour. Is this true?
Priscilla T.: There is a 500 hourly email limit per domain on all shared servers;
Priscilla T.: That is true
Me: Ok, what about 25 members on at one time (with vBulletin)
Priscilla T.: What you mean by HostGator shutsdown accounts that have more than 25 users
Me: I was just reading reviews, and they said that for popular forums (mine has 6500 members), that Hostgator doesnt allow moer than 25 connections at once
Me: I want to move to you guys, but am just worried about this
Priscilla T.: Hostgator allow maximum of 25 connection simultaneously. If you having 5 domains, then its 25 connection each domain, and total of 125 connections.
Me: Wow ok... so it wouldn't work on a popular forum then
