This is the official hostgator announcement posted by GatorDaveC on 08 October 2007

We have updated the section 7b (Inode usage) in our terms of service. It has come to our attention that some clients are getting worried their account will be suspended due using more then 50,000 Inodes. We DO NOT suspend our clients for inode usage unless they cause problems with our file system, or constantly deleting and recreating large amounts of files which causes high IO usage.

—OLD 7b section—
7b.) INODES
The use of more then 50,000 INODES will result in account suspension. Accounts found exceeding 50,000 INODES will not be backed up on our backup servers. A INODE is the actual file or directory and not the size of that file or directory. For example your index.html file is 1 INODE. A directory called homework is counted as 1 INODE as well.
——

—NEW 7b section—
7b.) INODES
The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file on your account uses up 1 inode.

Simply exceeding the limit does not constitute grounds for suspension however accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis or causing file system damage may cause your account to be flagged for review.
