What is the file/upload size limit

On all InfinityFree servers is a file size limit of 10 MB. It’s important to note that this is a file size limit and not an upload limit. The difference is subtle, but important. An upload limit could be set through PHP settings, but this limit is enforced on the file system level. No PHP configuration can override this limit and it applies to files uploaded through FTP or the file manager as well. Can the limit be increased?

Hi LesWoolsey,

Export file of such a size normally comes from WordPress backup plugins (ai1wm_export?). To correctly import your website, you need to setup a locally hosted WordPress website, import it from there, and migrate the local site to the online server.

Let us know if you need assistance on doing either or both and we’ll provide further guidence.

Cheers!

If you follow our migration guide, you should have no problems with this:

How to migrate your website to InfinityFree

If your website doesn’t use MySQL databases, moving your site is very easy. Simply upload all your files to the ‘htdocs’ folder on your hosting account with FTP or a file manager. If you have a PHP based website, check if it has any configuration files where a domain name or file path needs to be set. Update these values as required. If your website is using MySQL databases, you need to move the database contents as well and update the configuration of your website to use the database: Backup…

Migration features integrated in website software (i.e. migration plugins) may seem like an easier solution, but in our experience they rarely work as well as advertised, and you’ll just spend a lot of time fighting with upload limits, time limits and so on.

Our guide is a little bit more involved, but works reliably for all websites of any size.
