Hello, @aadityabhatta

I would recommend following the steps here on how to migrate a Wordpress website to a DigitalOcean droplet with no downtime:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-migrate-wordpress-from-shared-hosting-to-a-cloud-server-with-zero-downtime

Additionally you can check all the steps and the prerequisites in the How To Install Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu article here as well:

Hope that this helps!

Alex
