Basically
go into your local wordpress and change the 2 url’s in “Settings” to what they will be – save.
Do not attempt to view blog.
Set up new install of wordpress on host
import database saved from your computer.
go to http://www.example.com/wp-login.php

I assume you’re using phpMyAdmin?
You have to actually create the database and select it in phpMyAdmin before you try to import the file into it.
