okay so i am a little confused now after the last comment. Does that mean I cannot connect the database that I made already on my laptop with wamp and phpmyadmin? I used wamp to create the wordpress website and then I linked it to phpmyadmin. Am I not able to sync the database to my free hosting service? ---

The names of your local DB and host are not the same as here on the server and you need to make a DB here and then set the necessary parameters in wp-config (find the DB parameters in the Client area) * * * or install WP via Softaculous app installer (control panel) and it will adjust everything for you automatically and you start WP from the beginning or somehow insert a backup inside after install… ---

Woo is a demanding plugin in terms of RAM, but I don’t see WP on your domain at all (unless it’s in some subdir that I don’t know about). You can always check what the problem is by following these instructions > [@Installation failed: There has been a critical error on your website](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/installation-failed-there-has-been-a-critical-error-on-your-website/49361): > > WordPress supports installing and updating plugins and themes from the official store right through the WordPress admin interface.

i deleted the whole database because it was giving me issues with the woocommerce. i couldnt even reach the woocommerce home page because the page would get stuck on a never ending loading page. and i dont have that issue with the wordpress website that i created myself so i just assumed that it was because there wasnt enough space. especially when i tried to download opencart as an alternative and couldnt get that to install either. so i just chalked it up as a space issue ---
