*Upload all files to hostgator.

* Edit the site URL in the database wp_option table

*Export the database

*Import it on Hostgator

* Make sure its linked right with wp-config.php

* Your site is live.

Another option, would be to go to your cpanel in host gator, scroll down and click Fantastico. Its a blue looking smiley face in the software section. It wilkl auto install wordpress for you. Write down the admin login and password. Then FTP your your wordpress themes folder into wp content/themes. If you're unfamiliar with FTP clients, use filezilla.
