2 min readAn original planning guide. Use the linked primary documentation for platform details and the supported procedure for your environment.
List the must-haves
Record application versions, required extensions, storage needs, scheduled tasks, and any custom operating-system access the project expects.
Check resource boundaries
Ask how the plan describes CPU, memory, concurrent work, and transfer. Confirm how the provider reports a limit being reached.
Clarify support scope
Separate platform support from website code, plugins, email deliverability, and third-party integrations. Assign a person for uncovered work.
Test a representative journey
Use an approved test environment to exercise the real workload. Note errors and constraints before making a purchase decision.
Worked scenario
See the plan in practice.
A small site can still run a demanding report. Include that report in the assessment instead of using only the homepage as a proxy.
