The wording of the Hospitaler Archetype's Smite Evil reads a little confusing to me so I ask the following question.
Does a paladin's smite evil uses start as normal (1, 4, 7) and get an extra use at seven before gaining more at 13 & 19 or does the progress start at 7th Lv and continue from there?
You would gain your second use of Smite Evil at 7th. Which, given how it works now, isn't so bad for a support type of character; the Channel Energy pool you gain separate from your uses of Lay on Hands can be worth it.

Second use? By the normal progression you would have 3 uses at Lv 7 since progression kicks off at Lv 1. So would you're saying that a paladin would only have 2 uses at Lv 7 instead of 3?
I'm still confused by how the ability is worded.

Correct. You gain your first use at 1st level, and every 6 levels after that. It is pretty badly worded, but essentially you give up extra killing evil for extra healing.
