1. Start with Dothan’s actual service area, not an assumed audience
The U.S. Census Bureau records Dothan as a municipality in Alabama. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 71,514, with a margin of error of 472, and the record relates the city to Dale, Henry and Houston counties. That is geographic context, not proof of search demand, legal need, leads or revenue. It does matter when you define the site’s operating boundaries: decide whether the website is intended only for Dothan, for clients across those counties, or for a broader Alabama practice. Hosting should support the site you actually operate rather than an undefined future audience.
Recommended approach
Bring your current domain list, primary service area and county coverage to the review. Ask Bosseo to identify which sites, subdomains and environments would be included, which would remain elsewhere and how the proposed arrangement would be measured. Do not approve infrastructure on the basis of population alone; approve it against the pages, traffic patterns, access requirements and recovery needs your firm can document.
