The question is that what to do after uploading my file on the cpanel? How to restore my website using the xml file?

i am not sure but i do not think you can extract an XML file to your public_html folder.
i know zip files are usually the way to upload compressed files.
but there is a 10 Mb limit per file, files larger than 10 Mb might get deleted automatically.

also i dont think you can just import an XML file from one host to another,
because of differences between data bases etc,

Here is WP tutorial: https://wordpress.com/support/export/
If your using x10 free account, DirectAdmin no cPanel you may have to alter the procedure. Seems like a lot of time, if your going to use your own domain name start with that. Adding a domain name to a free x10 free sub domain is very troubles um.
