It's a great idea to brush up and find out about things before getting another hamster. Things have changed a lot over the years with more understanding of welfare needs etc. The main thing is a suitable cage and safe cage contents, a good hamster mix, suitable litter/substrate (and enough of it), a house big enough to build a good sized nest in, and not doing full weekly cleans. Potty litter trays save on the need for too many cleanouts which cause to hamsters.

Also thinking about where to get a hamster from. Ask away! You are among people who care about hamsters and there are some experienced breeders on here.
