Important Note

InfinityFree is excellent for:

Learning WordPress
Personal websites
Ministry websites
Small business sites
Development and testing

For production sites with heavy traffic (such as Covenant University LMS or large educational portals), use a paid VPS from providers such as DigitalOcean or other managed hosting services. InfinityFree has resource limits and is not suitable for large-scale Moodle deployments.
