Evaluate it

Check compatibility, region, support model, backup/restore capability, security controls, resource limits and the provider's current terms before committing.

Deployment plan

Back up first, document DNS/ports/credentials privately, migrate one service at a time, then verify externally from a normal client.

Security

Use MFA where available, unique credentials, least privilege and a password manager. A hosting provider does not replace your own access-control and backup practices.

Exit plan

Know how to export files/databases and restore elsewhere before the service becomes critical.
