They won't help you, they don't host the site.
But you can complain to hostgator.com, they are hosting them :)
Ya know what, it hasn't let me log in. It claims my password is invalid, so I requested to change my password and it's still claiming to be invalid. I also found my "welcome" e-mail from Hostgator when I first signed up, clicked on the c-panel link in that e-mail and entered my new reset password and it's still claiming my password is invalid. This recommendation came from this link: https://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/where-do-i-go-to-login-to-my-control-panel, after I tried what you recommended and didn't succeed. When I click on signing up for service in that link you sent me, it takes me to Hostgator.com. I'm not sure what to do, I'll call Hostgator tomorrow. Thanks a ton for your help though, it's much appreciated.
Thanks for your reply!
> I'm not sure what you are comparing here. You seem to be comparing "cloud" against "VPS+dedicated" combined together.
I'm just trying to get my head around "cloud" as in compute instances (think DO/Vultr/etc) with a "traditional" VPS or dedicated offer.
So for example, why would I ever want to go to HostGator.com and rent one of their VPS or one of their dedicated servers? That's just an example, I'm not actually a HG customer (I know... EIG etc etc).
These servers from large and well-known hosts just seem brutally overpriced compared to other "more cloudy" solutions, and I just don't understand why this is, or what the advantage is.
Does this help clear up my question?
Sorry this is so long. I am sure you can find a better explanation some other place.
You could quit gmail, have your own email addresses and not let Google read all your emails. Get the new email, then send change notices to all that have your gmail address. Send notices again later.
My solution, that I started to use probably 20 years ago, is having my own emails & domain on a webhost server. Expect to pay $30 for a webhost, domain name & registration each year. Assuming your name is John Doe, you could have [email protected] or some such, plus 16 other emails [email protected]. Spam filtering is free. You will have empty web pages for any use you desire, included in the price. My webhost had a stroke, so now I use hostgator.com.
After the change is done, you can move contact & registration address from gmail. Contact@newDomainnam.US is suggested, so bot spam only goes there. Don't give your main address to register, the bots will have it.
I always get the domain on Google Domains, and build the Website using Wordpress.org + Hostgator.com
Domain wise, there is not much difference between google and godaddy
IT is a superset of VPS/Share web hosts. I am talking about these companies like: hostgator.com or a2hosting.com they literally oversubscribe so much that load is always 100% and iowait is thru the roof often too. I know this because I used to work for one and have rented a bunch of VPS.
They said they can help me if I pay for the sitelock plus... which is 30 bucks a month for 1 year..
I also deleted all of my files and re-uploaded them with the old files from my site that I still had. Still, even with nothing in the public_html, the suspendedpage.cgi was still there.
​
I'm gonna see if they can try to help me... for free or for under 30 bucks.. because this makes no sense to me.
I use HostGator.com

You can go with smaller website hosting start-ups that offer more because they wanna get your biz. HostMamma.com and HostGator.com come to mind. You'll get more tech help with the smaller guys than going GoDaddy or 1&1.
