2 min readAn original planning guide. Use the linked primary documentation for platform details and the supported procedure for your environment.
List the systems
Include hosting, application, DNS, registration, email, backups, monitoring, and paid integrations as separate rows.
Name accountable owners
Assign one owner for each row, plus a backup contact. Record a role or controlled team document instead of publishing private credentials.
Define the handoffs
For each system, write what the provider handles and what the internal team handles. Link the current agreement or support documentation.
Rehearse one incident
Walk through a broken form or expired payment method. Confirm the owner can reach the account and knows the escalation route.
Worked scenario
See the plan in practice.
The developer may maintain WordPress while an operations lead controls the registrar. The map explains how both participate in a domain-related outage.
