magento can be setup at hostgator hosting, regardless there is secure shell access to server or not. If you have shell access, then you can issue the tar and bitserve command during magento installation via shell access.
Alternatively you can upload the unzip magento files to server ducument directory, this is recommended to most windows user. You can complete the magento installation without SSH shell access with this method.

Magento 1.4 works out-of-the-box on a HostGator shared hosting account. I did not have to modify any files or permissions. I have put 3 stores into production without very few hiccups. Let me know if there are any issues with installing on HostGator.
I have documented a successful install here: http://blakeurmos.com/magento-1-4-on-hostgator-tutorial-and-screencast/
Hope this helps.

yes, hostgator magento installation is manually done by user.
Unlike bluehost hosting they have magento installer added to their simplescripts installer.
