Sorry 'bout your troubles eagleswingwis. Hostgator does have a builder but I've never used it. I've discovered that if you use any host that has its own builder, you are always going to be limited in some way due to how the builders are setup. To have 100% freedom with your site it's best to upload from scratch or use your own web software.

Just making sure I understand your 3rd question... it's a bad idea to look for content from another source. If you publish content that is already on another site you are putting yourself at an extreme disadvantage with the search engines because they penalize duplicate content. Not to mention hosts don't generally provide you with content. They are around to simply host your site. It's always best to publish your own content from scratch.

HostGator gets the thumbs up from me.
