Help restoring blog from sql.gz file
-
I used to have a blog through wordpress (hosted by Dreamhost). A few years ago the whole thing was deleted and I have it backed up in a sql.gz file. I would like to restore the blog, but no longer have paid hosting. I’d like to just restore it to my free wordpress blog. I have searched all over for an answer but all I can find is that I need to have paid hosting, use php admin and restore it that way. Is there anything I can do? I don’t want to pay for hosting – I just want to get my old blog back up on my free wordpress blog.
Thanks for any help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Is there any way to convert it to an accepted file? Or am I just stuck having to sign up for a hosted blog again?

You might be able to make a WordPress.ORG install on your PC and install it there and export – then there is the problem of your Pc needing to be able to send the media to your site here – maybe you can find a consultant that would install your backup on one of their sites long enough to export the contents to your new site here – not sure how to find a reasonably priced place to do that however – WordPress.ORG has Code Poets on it somewhere that are people that do WordPress for a living – I would think that you would need a small company or a person that does small jobs
