php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo for sql113.infinityfree.com failed: Name or service not known

Other Information

This is failing on the hosted files, no on a remote connection attempt.

I checked your wp-config.php file, and in it, I see you have configured the following:

/** nome do host do MySQL */
define('DB_HOST', ' sql113.infinityfree.com:3306');

This is not correct. The DB_HOST setting should only contain the hostname. No ports, and very importantly, no additional spaces. That space at the start is most likely the cause for the error.
