0. make sure the server is reasonably secured and software is updated.
1. configure backups to be stored on another machine. backup config files, too. and make notes on how you set things up.
2. run a link checker / load test script against site while running `top` in a shell and see if there are memory / CPU / IO bottlenecks.
3. make sure you have a quick DNS server, DO NOT run DNS on same machine as webserver.
4. monitor your app, not just ICMP on port 80.
5. be sure to install fail2ban.
