While traditionally this has usually been limited to small self-run hosting setups, the recent recession showed us businesses of all sizes can disappear overnight. It's wise not to 'have all your eggs in one basket' for anything financial, and something as crucial to your online business as your webites themselves are obviously no exception. So even if people already have hosting elsewhere, they'd be wise to get their next site at a different host - Hostgator to use your example. That way, if their current host goes down, even temporarily, they aren't completely offline and cut off from their earning stream - and if their host completely disappears, they already have a relationship with another host they can move those sites to quickly!
