I want to host wordpress website here.
Definitely! In fact, you can install WordPress right from Softaculous, found in the Client Area of your account!

Lots of people host wordpress websites here on free hosting. I’d say its probably the most popular use of the service.

Yes infinityfree does support wordpress and is available along with 400+ other applications as a simple one click install from the script installer that’s comes with your dashboard

The one click script installer is easier as it automatically sets up everything

I would recommend using FileZilla , the InfinityFree File Manager can sometimes be buggy.

Find the new database in the list and click Connect Now.
Click Import in the top bar.
Select the database backup file to import and click Go.
