If you are creating the new WP website on your local, then there is no need to pre-install WP on your new hosting server. Just copy all the data (files + Database) to the hosting. And then:
- Change the database details in wp-config.php
- Change the site url in the wp_options table in DB (2 entries)
- run a search replace script to change all old local url to new one (if required).
- Refresh the permalink once done.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more help.
