Is there a guide to migrate my website to Infinity Free?

I am trying to migrate my Wordpress website from another hosting service (currently freehostingnoads.net) to Infinityfree. The only way i know how to do it is through wordpress plugins (duplicator), but they don’t work because of the 10 mb limit (my backup is a 160 mb file). Is there a guide somewhere to help me do the migration through file tranfser, ftp or something?

Thanks for any help!

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…
Or
Wordpress
Just Install All In One Wp Migration Plugin And Backup Your Website, Download The File
Reinstall The Plugin In Infinity Free And Upload The Backup
Might Not Be Uploaded If The Backup Size Is Too High

Please read the OP’s question before posting. WP sites use databases.

DO NOT USE BACKUP PLUGINS! They are an easy way to get yourself quickly suspended.

@Alter_Gtr, following the article @KangJL posted is the best way to do this.

My site is a wordpress site, so it uses databases. Plugins like Wp Migration plugin won’t work because they use one backup file to install the website, and this file is of course over the 10 mb limit. I need to see how you can upload the website manually, which folders do i upload and where. I am not sure which folder is the wordpress database and which is the website data… Searched youtube with no luck so far, so remaining with my former hosting company unless i figure out how to do the migration…
