The hosting requirements are absolutely generic, in terms of web software and database. So the bones of it is a matter of having regular, secure offline backups of both, and a few clues as to alternative hosting services if the site's host were to be closed down, or evict us.
It's easy enough to host the site off a home PC, for example, if it were required. The harder part is the DNS stuff (name resolution, so that people can still find the site at its new home). I confess I don't have a clue about that. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
