 * I have created a test website on google compute engine. which was working perfectly
   fine. now for learning purpose i clone the machine into another datacenter. now
   when i am trying to access the public IP of new clone machine it is loading broken
   site. without images.
    i see nothing in error.log and access.log. activity dial
   of a browser shows busy status eventually it stop loading the page. now it seems
   more of a WordPress side issue and not VPS side issue. therefore your expert 
   advice is required.
 * Thanks,
    Yousuf

 * Thanks Tarun, actually i found the problem the issue was related to static IP
   define in wp-option tables. so i changed it to the correct ip now its working
   fine.
 * but my question is do i always have to change the IP in wp-options table every
   time i move or clone the site. (i know no one does it often) but my question 
   is cant i use website domain name instead of IP in wp-options table.

 * You can if you assign one dedicated ip to your website , But if placing ip will
   resolve your work then whats the issue of placing website name.
 * But wordpress website use website name only not ip address

 * I think its DNS issue Wait for 48 hr then place website name in place of ip it
   will work as per my knowledge
