How to delete a site.pro installation and restore your previous website

[Greenreader9]

Accidentally setup the Site.Pro sitebuilder on your domain? Don’t worry, it’s easy to remove the sitebuilder and restore your old website.

Common Use Case: Most commonly, users (like you!) will install WordPress, then decide to see what the sitebuilder has to offer. Deciding that WordPress is better for them, confusion occurs as deleting the sitebuilder account does not restore the WordPress installation!

Before Getting Started

Before continuing, let’s make sure that this guide will work for you. The following MUST be true to continue!

• http://your-domain.tld shows a Site.Pro landing page
• http://your-domain.tld/wp-admin/ shows the WP admin login page (If you changed the WP-Admin login URL, use your updated URL instead of the one shown)

Removing Site.Pro is really easy!

Step 1

Delete it from the client area

1. Go to Login to your account - InfinityFree

2. Click the trash can icon

Step 2

Open the file manager from the account dashboard

1. Go to Login to your account - InfinityFree and select your account, then find your domain and select the “Manage” button.

2. Select the orange “File Manager” button

Step 3

1. Delete the index.php file from the account

Step 4

1. Rename the spb_index.php file to index.php and click “ok”

Step 5

Test and make sure it works! Load your domain name and see if your original site appears!

1. Go to Login to your account - InfinityFree and select your account, then select “Domains”

I think this step needs to be changed again.
User would goto their InfinityFree account, then select → Manage next to the domain, then select the orange File Manager button.

You are right, it has been updated.
(Thank you for noticing)

Hello,
I tried to follow your instructions but the site is not accesible (step before getting started).
Our site has a freesite.online extension and we saw that it was suspended, do you think that we can access our site again if we wait ?
Another problem is that we overwrote our site with a site.pro to try and follow this tutorial. Is there any backup of our older website by any chance ?

thank you

That’s the idea, yes. If you would like to discuss the status of freesite.online domain being down, please ask your question in the dedicated topic.

That’s what the spb_index.php is about. The only thing Site.Pro does is move your existing index.php file out of the way and add their own files. All your other website files will not be touched and your website should just work when you move the index.php file back in place.
