 * Hi I am moving my site from shared hosting to VPS I want to keep the same URL,
   I have read this article [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
   but dont want to mess up so can you please confirm for me:
 * Do I need to copy all the wordpress files or just wp-content?
 * I copy my database and posts etc
 * Import my database, upload wordpress files, posts
 * What do I actually change in wp-config as I am not clear
 * Then change my nameservers
 * Is there anything else?
 * Many thanks
