As for the name servers, well, here's a quote from the knowledge base:

Whatever name servers are listed in your welcome email will be the ones to use for all of the sites you choose to host out of your account. If you are a reseller client the name servers will be however you chose to set them up.

Alternatively, you could just use some other DNS hosting service, edit your zone file, and set an A record to point to the server your site is on. (this is the advanced option, I recommend you just use hostgator's name servers)
