First, you need to SIGN UP FOR HOSTGATOR (it’s $0.01 with coupon code wordpress)

Change that to FTP

2. Enter Your FTP settings from Hostgator

ftp server = yournewwebsite.com

blog url = http://yournewwebsite.com/blog

FTP path = public_html/blog/

Blog Filename = index.html

Click SAVE SETTINGS

Go to Posting > Status to republish your blogspot to hostgator
