In order to use putty, you need to have an account on your server’s SSHD to login. The error was access denied which mean that you are either giving wrong login credentials(user and password) or you have no access to login to the server perhaps being a shared hosting client which what 95% of hostgator clients are availing.

If you purchased one of these packagges http://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting, your username and password is mailed to you. If you selected full manage, they won’t allow you to have full root access

The username and password you get for the browser is different with the one you will get for the VPS if you purchased a VPS. You will also get a temporary URL which usually won’t work until you ink a domain to your VPS. This is assuming that you have a VPS / Dedicated server
