  You are in the wrong forum and need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/ as that is where self-hosted blogs are supported.

  Hostgator should have an installer script that will make the installation of wordpress painless. Virtually all web hosts do – typically Fantastico. You will have to check the version they are using though and after the basic install you might have to upgrade.

  You also, if you have not done so already, have to point your domain name from godaddy at the hostgator servers.
