I have currently my own website https://exxtremelabs.com.
Its wordpress  website, and I establish VM with Wordpress compute engine because the fact the current website is so slow.
Now I have 2 dillemas.
How to transfer/migrate all files from my current host to the current engine.
I'm lost here so I would like to get help.
Second one is how to migrate correct paths on root domain /theblogposts correctly.
Im lost in this also

These third party links[1] [2] show how to transfer Copy of WordPress Website to Google Cloud Platform. And in this link you may find a way to migrate the correct path on the root domain[3]. However, as these are third party links, Google cannot guarantee the validity of the information it contains.


You can also use an FTP client to transfer your files to your VM instance, by using this link[4]


Please note the hosting options on GCP that you choose for your website[5].


If you choose the ephemeral IP for your WordPress site, I'd suggest changing the IP Address of Instance from Ephemeral to Static since it is a web server. There is a possibility that the Ephemeral IP will change if the VM instance gets rebooted if you don't change it to Static. To learn more about changing from Ephemeral to Static, please visit this documentation [6].


Additionally, If you wish to manage your DNS zone file record in Google, you need to set up CloudDNS in your GCP. Also, you need to point your nameservers to Google Namservers. To learn more about creating Cloud DNS, please visit our public documentation [7].
