You are not following the Tutorials as closely as you claim:

1. Your "Contact Us" page, just as any page that has a Form on it (email, etc.) needs to saved and published as ".php" in order for the Form to function. Change how the page is published in Page Properties (right-click on page, or VIEW > PAGE PROPERTIES from Toolbar) and select "Page Extension = PHP"

2. You need to change the hyperlinks on your site to reflect the proper page: change http://www.yatc613.com/contact_us.html >> to >> http://www.yatc613.com/contact_us.php

3. You changed the page name of your "Success" page to "contact2" in the Form Properties, where you need to change/edit the link back to the default "success" (example: http://www.yctc613/success.html) accessing Form Properties by either right-clicking on your Form then > Properties, or, via highlighting your Form (click once on it) and then EDIT > PROPERTIES from Toolbar.

4. Providing you properly created an email account in cPanel on this domain, you still need to 'customize' the Form Properties to send the data to the correct email address: In Form Properties is the default email address "yourname@yourdomain.com" which you must change to reflect the exact email address you created: for example reception@yctc613.com

These steps are clearly outlined in bold blue text on the Tutorial Page, as well as in the Video Tutorial.
