How can I transfer my Blogger site to HostGator hosting?

Since Blogger (blogspot) isn't an actual hosting company, there's no real way to transfer the site from Blogger to your account with us directly.

However, Blogger has a feature where it will allow you to publish your blog to an external web host (like HostGator). This would make Blogger connect to us via FTP and publish your website to our hosting.

They have a FAQ entry on how to accomplish it here.

Additionally, as of version 2.2 WordPress supports importing directly from your blogger account:

Simply install WordPress from Fantastico in your cPanel.

Then in your WordPress Admin area (domain.com/wp-admin), go to Manage → Import → Blogger and follow the directions to complete the import.

If you have no installations, then you will see under Current installations: None.

However, I see you do have a current installation. The / is the installation on your primary domain name. Simply click "Visit Site" to see the full URL in your address bar.
