Does anyone else have ads on their cpanel when using Hostgator?
Why not switch to a reseller plan? Then you can remove the ads completely and even add your own branding and theme to cPanel, in case you want to outsource some of your bandwidth.

Find a new host. That cracks me up. Go for a smaller company.. they always treat their clients better. I like MediaTemple (mediatemple.net)
