Yes that is normal but when images don't show it looks strange; its 
for smaller screens like iPad and smartphones. But if you have a 
smartphone you are re-directed to a great smartphone site instead.

But I still don't know how to fix it?? I don't understand why this 
happens. Hostgator gave me the IP address of the server, and then 
appends "~pia" so I can view the site and work on it. When it's done 
I am going to redirect the DNS servers to the Hostgator site, and you 
will then use the domain name to get to the site; 
www.HeavenSentDesserts.com. If you use it now it goes to the 
currently live site which will be abandoned once the Hostgator site 
is working.

Since the same coding so to speak works fine on the currently live 
site why does it not work here? The files are all in same order and 
the paths are the same.

The path to that image is 
"http://50.22.80.44/~pia/sites/default/files/styles/fullsize_slider_front/public/front-slider-images/FrontSliderChileCake.jpg" 
- I don't know what the stuff with "?itok=sWYey6Go" is ...
