Inventory every dependency
List hosting, domain registrar, DNS, files, databases, email, analytics, licenses and payment integrations with ownership details.
Keep separate copies
Maintain an independent backup outside the hosting account so one lost login or server failure cannot remove every copy.

Test recovery
A backup is only an assumption until restored. Run a safe test, record the outcome and update the recovery instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is a hosting backup enough?
No. Keep an independent copy and document access to the domain, DNS and connected services.
How do I know a backup works?
Test restoration safely and record the date, result and any missing dependencies.
A responsible next step
Use this guide to identify one action you can complete and document. Avoid changing everything at once. A small test with clear records usually teaches more than a large campaign built on assumptions.
