Hey I bought a domain from freenom but they recently paused their service and my domain expired and I can’t renew it so I bought a new domain and I want to transfer the old WordPress website including the database to the new WordPress website

old website = watch.bizzy.ml = registered on infinityfree

new website = watchtopia.site = not on infinityfree

Or first take backup of both htdocs and databases
Then link new domain to your account and then restore the backup and change the site url using WordPress database

How to add your own domain to your account

While a free subdomain is a great way to get started, a website looks a lot more professional with a custom domain name. Fortunately, you can register your own domain name with an external company (like NameSilo) and use it on InfinityFree. There are multiple ways you can add the domain name as an account. You can create it as a new account or add it to an existing account. Before you start: configure your domain’s nameservers Before you can add the domain name to your account, you need to ver…

What does Subdomain / Addon Domain / Parked Domain mean

In the control panel, you’ll find the sections called Addon Domains, Parked Domains and Subdomains. What do all those different domain types mean? What is a subdomain? In general, a subdomain is a domain which is a part of another domain name. So if you have the domain name example.com, then test.example.com would be a subdomain of example.com. And similarly, sub.test.example.com is a subdomain of both example.com and test.example.com. In your control panel, the Subdomains section allows you t…

You will also need to change your WP site URL in WP settings.

that’s the problem downloading htdocs is a massive problem

Pls help downloading the files in htdocs

[Greenreader9]

You can’t use the online file manager to make large downloads. Please use a desktop FTP client like FileZilla.

What error are you getting?

@Akshat_Apoorv

and takes a lot of time

Well if you’re downloading an entire WP installation, that’s expected. It’s also very dependent on your internet speed.

Then you can’t install a certificate. If this domain is not hosted with InfinityFree, you need to contact your hosting provider for assistance.

This is the recommended way to backup a website here:

How to backup your website

Good website administration requires making backups of your account regularly and storing them somewhere safe yourself. You also need to download backups in order to migrate website to other hosting accounts. InfinityFree does not create or store any backups of free hosting accounts. It’s your responsibility to regularly create backups, and to store them somewhere safely. Backup your website files The best way to backup your website files is by downloading them using a desktop FTP client. Op…

Downloading an entire website over FTP can take some time, but you can generally just queue up the files and let FileZilla do it’s thing. You can also speed it up by increasing the number of concurrent connections from the default of 2 to the maximum of 10, which really makes the transfer five times as fast.

There is no other backup method I can recommend. If you’re having trouble using FTP, then let’s figure out how we can solve that. FileZilla has very good troubleshooting options, so there being “no error” can only mean you don’t know where to look.
