 * Hi. I want to migrate my WordPress website to my new VPS so I have few questions.
 * 1. Do I need to install WordPress first on the new VPS ?
 * 2. How can I copy the databases ?
 * 3. Can someone suggest me some guides. I found this [WordPress installation](https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/migrate-your-wordpress-website-to-a-new-virtual-server/)
   guide on the internet, but I am not sure I have SSH access to my server.
 * Thanks.
