It’s not junk, but it’s not complete. You should also have the database, normally an .sql
(can also be zipped).
You should buy hosting, change the DNS to point to your new host. Than you want to upload the files he gave you to the new server and import the contents of your old database into the new one. If all goes well, your site will be up and running by this time.
You should, however, have someone familiar with WordPress do this.
