Software and resource needs
Check the services requiring public access, private administration, DNS and recovery copies.
Account access and renewals
Record who owns the domain and hosting account, pays renewals and approves changes. Use individual logins where supported, and keep recovery access available to the owner.
Backup and handover
List the files, databases and mailboxes that need a backup. Agree who checks restores and who hands over access when a staff member or supplier leaves.
