Thank you Krishna.
I updated my wp-config file.
I've already contacted my host, but I'm sure anyone hosted with HostGator could easily agree they're completely useless. They put a block on my .htaccess file and I'm not even allowed to override it myself or it will result in "Corrective Action". So until someone gets off their booty and decides to answer one of my numerous ticket responses, I won't even know if disabling the updates will work to avoid this issue from coming back up.
