I mean how complicated is it to enter a command line and pack up some sites?
Also, judging from the DWHS website they pretty much offer 100% Cpanel/WHM Virtual Hosting. If that is the case you should be able to do a total site/account backup from the Cpanel/WHM screen. Cpanel has an automated backup solution that will tar your entire root directory of WHM (including all sites and mysql databases) and allow you to download it or transfer it to another hosting company. HostGator also runs off of Cpanel/WHM I believe so you can just do a direct FTP over there and then do a Cpanel/WHM Restore. Should take maybe at most a few hours.

That is if your accounts are still open on DWHS.
