Try following this ^
SQL Imports are usually having the file extension of “.sql”, and not “.zip”
You will then need to upload all the files into the “htdocs” folder

How to do when I do not know which type of folder to upload and which one, I found only one sql database and uploaded to sql. Is there anyone who can assist here only to check if I put them correctly or how can I do with video tutorial?
For best practice, if your have two websites, having two databases will provide better clarity.
If everything is lumped into one database, good luck!
If you need more help, provide more info

I checked your account, and I see you have one database which contains multiple WordPress installations. One set of tables appears to have been created by Softaculous, and I’m assuming the other tables are from your backup.
You can choose which set of tables your WordPress installation uses through the wp-config.php file of your site. In it is a variable $table_prefix. It’s currently set to a value that looks like wpXX_. Some of the tables in your database have that same wpXX_ prefix, others only have the wp_ prefix.
So if you change the $table_prefix variable from wpXX_ to wp_, WordPress should start loading all your previous pages, posts, settings, etc.
For future reference: if you want to migrate an existing site, you don’t want to setup a new site. Simply copy ALL files of your website, import the database, update the database credentials, and everything will be as you left it. Transplanting content between installations is much more difficult than just moving the entire installation.

what to prove? I delete all files now, and I uploaded all the files with zip format (WinRAR), which are included two websites. PLS anyone to help me coz there are lots of days pending to fix this thing?
I looked at your account before. There was one domain name on your account, which had one WordPress installation, which was a clean installation through Softaculous. I checked the database, and there were two WordPress installation there: one from Softaculous, and one which I presume is from a backup you uploaded.
If the website you see now is a different one than you expected, it seems to me like you uploaded the database backup of the wrong website. Our hosting doesn’t do anything special, it just runs the code you provide with the data you provide. It doesn’t magically show a different website unless you set it up that way.
To move forward from here, I would do the following:
- Verify that you have a working and complete backup of sashamaltese.com.
- Delete the current WordPress installation (files and database) from your hosting account with us. The Softaculous uninstall function can probably do that for you.
- Upload the backup of your website. Please try to follow the instructions from our website migration guide: How to migrate your website to InfinityFree
If you have two websites, you should have two sets of WordPress files and two databases. You can pack them in a single zip file of course, but then you should know which files and database belong to which website.

I did what you said by changing the $table_prefix variable from wpXX_ to wp_ and it was only changed the domain, from sashamaltese.com it was cryptofxmasters.pro. But it was not restored the website, even the wrong one.
Did you?
