Wow, we have some real wankers here on GFY dont we
I have some TGPS on host gator which do about 40k / day and they have been running fine for a year or two.
Although my tube search engine got shut down because it created 300,000 files and was slowing the server down.
So i am guessing they only shut down your account if it affects the server your on.
If your running a tube site and embedding videos as you say, only 1000 hits could be 10 or 20 GB per day.
So as many people have suggested if you want to grow your site i would suggest get a dedicated box.
The cheapest dedicated boxes i know of, are from FDCservers.net
FDC is also huge, they own a few data centers across the US, if anyone knows of a cheaper and bigger company please let me know ill get a box from them
