Cloud Hosting Workflow (Do This In Order)

This sequence prevents the two most common mistakes: (1) choosing plans based on price alone, and (2) migrating without performance/security basics in place.

  1. Decide hosting level (managed vs unmanaged).
  2. Compare providers using performance + support + scaling needs.
  3. Estimate true monthly cost (avoid surprise bills).
  4. Plan migration and DNS changes (reduce downtime risk).
  5. Lock in speed basics (caching, images, CDN) before you judge host performance.
  6. Implement security + backups (don’t wait until you get hit).
