    I have build a wordpress blog using XAMPP local host. Now i want to upload (make online) my blog to a web hosting like bluehost or hostgator. Can i do it by Filezilla? If it can be done by filezilla then which file of XAMPP i have to upload? If anybody can explain it step by step then it will be helpful.

    I already did it and 100% works fine. Here are step-by-step how I did it:

    - Install a new Wordpress in your hosting, upload and replace all the "wp-content" folder with the old WordPress.

    - Export your old WordPress database and import it to your new WordPress using phpMyAdmin.

    - In phpMyAdmin select your WordPress database then click on "wp_option" table, find/replace "siteurl" and "home" values with your new domain address.

    - Login to your new WordPress using the same username and password with your old WordPress, go to the WordPress settings and resave the Permalink Settings.
