You might be better off if you decompress the ZIP if you don’t have the files in a folder then upload the website files separately through an FTP client like FileZilla instead of uploading a ZIP file then decompressing it via the File Manager, even because of the file size limits there are on free hosting, which are 10 kBs for `.htaccess`, 1 MB for HTML, PHP and JS files and 10 MBs for all other files. ---

I do have Discord, but only use it to communicate with my friends, so I think it’s better to communicate here if you still want help as I don’t want to be disturbed on other platforms and because others can help you here as well if they have the time. Just make sure you censor all sensitive data and you’ll also be fine. ---

Oh, I see you have a Node.js app here. You can only install it on free hosting if the app you’re installing supports compiling static files (like HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and if you’re going to upload the static files you generated through your computer with the building process to your `htdocs` folder; so it only works client-side, but for server-side applications built with Node you’ll have to look elsewhere as free hosting doesn’t support Node.js as server-side platform. ---

I think he compiled the website through his computer and the template he’s deployed can also work client-side; if you have the same website template as him you’ll have to extract the ZIP file of the Node template on your computer, install the dependencies and Node.js on your computer, modify the template as you will, test it before you deploy, run `npm run build` on your computer (and that’s three times I said “on your computer”, now four), then upload the files that the build process has generated (which are finally static, so every browser can access your website) to your `htdocs` folder. ---

I’m trying to install the dependencies though, but the worst thing is that this template is built with an older version of Python in mind! I don’t want to install a non-supported version of Python so I can try to build or debug the website, so you’ll have to try to move out the files from the `dist` folder to see if it actually works. ---
