Errors when installing wordpress on independent hosting

    I signed up for a free hosting account with 000webhost to test some web developments.
    It has wordpress in the Cpanel and I can click it to install. After installation, it says
    “Congratulations, it’s ready!
    Your WordPress is now ready for configuration.”
    I click on the “configuration” button and it takes me to a page that asks me to set a username and password.

    Then it takes me all the way successfully to me installing a theme (I chose Astra), adding a plugin and clicking on edit with elemntor.
    I get to the edit page, do some minor edits, then the edit page says
    “Looks like something’s gone wrong. Wait a couple of seconds, and then try again.”

    Meanwhile, the home page, listed below, get redirected as you would know if you tried to click on it, to

    and asks me to RE-FILL in the same form, asking for a user name and password, except this time it also asks for an email.
    When I submit the information, it shows a long page full of errors, and at hte very bottom, it says:
    “Success!
    WordPress has been installed. Thank you, and enjoy!

    Username Admin
    Password
    Your chosen password.
    Log in”
    If I click on the log in button, it just refreshes the page and again, like before, asks me to choose a username, password and email address. It does this infinitely.

    Some of the errors are:

    "WordPress database error: [User 'id7740160_wp_2fc400f07251fd954ff8323403502ba4' has exceeded the 'max_queries_per_hour' resource (current value: 7500)]
CREATE TABLE wp_users ( ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, user_login varchar(60) NOT NULL default '', user_pass varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', user_nicename varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', user_email varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', user_url varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', user_registered datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', user_activation_key varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', user_status int(11) NOT NULL default '0', display_name varchar(250) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (ID), KEY user_login_key (user_login), KEY user_nicename (user_nicename), KEY user_email (user_email) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci"

    There are many, many errors, too many to list.

    I know for a fact the free hosting plan has a 2 databases because I’ve used it fine in the past for other things.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    As far as I understood it, that particular host’s free accounts has a limit on the number of mySQL queries that you can perform per day (a VERY low one), which leads to that observed behaviour (instead of redirecting to a page that explains why).

    If you wait 24 hours +, you should be able to log in again, at least for a short period, before the behaviour will repeat again.

    That having been said, never use weak passwords, please – and NEVER share your credentials when asking for tech help on these forums.

    For your own sanity, can I recommend that you try a localhost installation on your PC or Mac if you are using one?

    The reason I mention that is all free hosts are a fine example of “you get what you pay for” meaning they are generally Just Plain Awful™. If you install a localhost copy that will provide you an opportunity to learn. You will also be able to fix any problems you may have. With “free” hosting that’s often not the case.
