The “how to migrate your website to InfinityFree” is pretty much what you need to do. You could also have a look at the Moving WordPress article from WordPress themselves, it’s pretty much the same process but they have written it for WordPress, while our article is for our hosting.

In short the process is:

  1. Upload the downloaded websites files to the htdocs folder of your site with FTP.
  2. Create a new database in your account.
  3. Import the database backup through phpMyAdmin.
  4. Update the wp-config.php file with the credentials of your new database.
  5. If necessary, update the website URL in WordPress. You can do this through the config file or through the database. Detailed instructions for each method is available here: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/

Please don’t install a fresh copy of WordPress if you’re trying to import an existing site.
