Hostgator Sucks part II

I just want to tell my experience on hostgator because I’m pretty much upset on another temporary suspension of my account. Yesterday I received an email to them and they told me that one of my website consumes 25% of the CPU and they have to temporarily suspend my account without warning again! I’m clueless on what might cause of the problem. So I’ve emailed them to activate my account so that I can fixed the problem. After 12 hours or so I received a response from them

It looks as though 216.8.149.141 ip was hitting your account thousands of times causing it to slow. I will enable the account and block that IP, thanks.

WTF, so they suspend my account because someone’s trying to access one of my sites for thousands of times? Now think again before you will purchase a hosting account on Hostgator.
