Changing the hosting servers of WordPress sites is always tricky because of the WordPress files and folder permissions differ from that of a normal shared web hosting and a dedicated / VPS server.

The site may work properly but the updates won’t install or you can’t upload your image files and I have faced this issue when I moved from shared web hosting to my private VPS from DigitalOcean. I have built the hosting server from scratch on top of Ubuntu and I’ll tell you about the proper Wordpress files and folder permissions required for the smooth running of your website.
