HGator uptime of 99.9 concerns me alittle. of course it's always great to get 100%. Bluehost promise 100% uptime thou but they ask for full year payment instead of monthly.
how does HG uptime work for u? one of our guys here seems to experience frequent downtime. how about you?

I have been looking at Hostgator but would rather have the servers located in the UK. I also need unlimited domains package. Can anyone recommend a UK based company?

Most of my autoblogs are hosted at hostgator reseller package. Excellent customer support.

Hostgator - allows adult themed, will suspend your site real fast if you go over a certain % of resource spending. If youre doing mini sites, depending on how many, you will see it always at a constant .5%>. If you have a high traffic site with thousands of visitors, they will suspend your site and you'll have to upgrade to VPS.
Bluehost - Based in Utah, mormon state. No adult themed whatsoever, will cut your site down with no warning.
Both are decent, but based on more lax tos, I stuck with HG. Both Ive raninto do not have a uptime of 99.9%, I just had a problem for 30sec downtime on my HG account.
Hostgator is a reseller of theplanet, just fyi. All the BS with unlimited space/data etc... is just a marketing ploy, its what it is, bullshit. Both companies will suspend you if youre using up all their resources. As long as youre not getting 10k/day visits on a MU-WP with 100 plugins, you should be fine.
If you're willing to take a gamble, get a free .com at 1and1.com (1and1 are notorious for trying to con you when youre trying to transfer domains) and then get the 1cent hostgator package or the reseller. Update your nameservers. I never ever have the hosting company control my domains. Or the domain company control any hosting incase one gets taken down or banned I can just move it. Never put all eggs in one basket.

I use hostgator. Don't know much about competition since it's the only one I've used. When I had problems support helped me, and the hosting is great too.

I've used hostgator for 4 years and had no major problems. I've heard good things about bluehost though.

I am using hostgator for several years and never had any problem. Their supports rocks... 10/10 for their support... Never had any major downtime... had virus attacks on my sites two time because of my own wrong doings... had virus and malware software in one of my employee's computer and every time i mailed them they cleaned and helped me to restore it back...
Right now i have migrated to their seohosting services because of different c class ip option... My overall experience is very good...
