After struggling with low speeds on my local hosting setup, especially since my site deals with tech content and a lot of product data, I decided to try Vultr. Initially, I was concerned about migrating, but honestly, it was the best decision I made. The performance boost was immediate, and everything just worked so much better. My local hosting was a nightmare, especially with slow speeds and constant hiccups. But with Vultr, my site is running faster than ever before.
I was also worried about changing DNS settings and moving my site, but Vultr made it super simple. The migration guide was clear and helpful, and honestly, I didn't run into any issues with DNS. It felt like a hassle-free experience compared to what I had expected.
If you’re dealing with slow performance and have a lot of data like I did, don’t hesitate to migrate to Vultr. It’s a total game-changer and worth every step. I’m finally happy with the speed and stability of my site now!

It sounds like the issue you're encountering is related to directory permissions or the way Drupal is handling file storage. Even though you’ve set the `sites/[site name]/files` directory to be group- and world-writable, it's possible that Drupal is trying to create additional directories within that path and doesn't have the necessary permissions.
First, ensure that the parent directory of `sites/[site name]/files` and all subdirectories are owned by the web server user (e.g., `www-data` on many systems). You can check and set the correct ownership and permissions with the following commands:
```bash
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/drupal/sites/[site name]/files
sudo chmod -R 775 /path/to/drupal/sites/[site name]/files
```
If the issue persists, check the `file_storage` and `file_private_path` settings in Drupal’s configuration to ensure they are pointing to valid and writable directories.
Also, check if SELinux might be restricting the necessary permissions. If SELinux is enabled, you may need to adjust its policies or temporarily set it to `Permissive` mode. You can follow this guide to disable SELinux on CentOS 7 to resolve potential issues related to SELinux enforcing restrictions.
Lastly, clearing the cache and rebuilding the permissions might help. You can do that using Drush:
```bash
drush cr
```Let me know if this resolves the issue!
