Have you considered resetting everything up with a LTS OS?
Install an actually supported OS on the new VPS and migrate your services manually.
Without knowing what services you run, I can't help further (And probably couldn't anyway because I don't have your server)
I believe somewhere there are experts you can pay to do this stuff for you if you lack the time or energy?
if i were you (and having a remote screen of your vps) i would backup up your disk with Clonezilla to a hetzner cloud server through SSH and later restore it to a different vps.
Ubuntu 14.04 is EOL a few years ago. You should just start a new OS install on your new provider and use the latest LTS. If you're worried about upgrading message me and I'll help you move and setup everything no cost anywhere when I have time.
I would rsync or dd the old server to new one, using SSH. or move to google drive using rclone first.
well if you need my help, PM me, I need job lol
It's still in ESM (Extended Security Maintenance) until April 2024 - https://endoflife.date/ubuntu
But it's still probably best to get on an actively supported version.
You can use clonezalla or migrate it manually via SSH/Rsync.
Install MySQL on your new VPS. Back up your mysql directory from old VPS and restore it on your new VPS.
Easy.
I would shut the old VPS down, boot it into livecd environment, and use dd to clone the entire disk. Then I restore the image to the new VPS. Don’t forget to change some settings like IP address.
In my experience this works most of the time
