While working on your website, you may be redirected to the InfinityFree 404 error page. This article explains why this typically happens and what you can do to fix this. Why do I get a 404 error When you try to access a file on a website, the server tries to find the matching file to load. By default, it works like this.

Files in the correct directory

Are you absolutely sure? Where have you uploaded the files?
You can find the directory your site is linked to by going to your “Domains” tab of your account overview, for example here is mine:

What is the exact name of the folder for your domain?

I had a quick look. The directory name is indeed incorrect.

Your domain is linked to the directory h4infohub.nichesite.org/htdocs. But if you check the file manager, you’ll see that the directory is called H4InfoHub.nichesite.org. Because our servers (like almost all web hosting servers) are case sensitive, this is in fact a different folder.

Please make sure that the file and directory names match exactly. Different casing makes it a different folder, and the server won’t look for your files there.
