  Yes. To use WordPress with Hostgator, you’ll need to set it up there.

  The install guide is available here: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/how-to-install-wordpress

  We provide support for WordPress.COM hosted blogs only. We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
