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 Or you may choose to manually install it yourself by uploading the files and setting up a mysql database The one click script installer is easier as it automatically sets up everything It’s your choice 👍 ---

But why can I not simply copy and paste wordpress files from htdocs of local host and paste them here in file manager of infinity? ---

As @lovebug stated: > [@lovebug](#): > > You may choose to manually install it yourself by uploading the files and setting up a mysql database Yes, you can upload your WordPress installation to `htdocs`, then create a database and configure it to your WordPress installation. > [@Iqbal01](#): > > paste them here in file manager of infinity? I would recommend using [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client), the InfinityFree File Manager can sometimes be buggy. ---
