Your requirements

What does your project need?

01

Website and applications

List the pages, forms, email accounts and applications included in the project. Note what will stay with another provider.

02

Software and resource needs

Check a public website, customer accounts, APIs, background jobs and database growth.

03

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.

04

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.

Planning

Access, backups and handover

A business website can start on shared hosting. APIs, workers and other custom services may need a VPS as the product develops.
