1. Start with the Downey website you actually operate
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory of the firm’s existing website rather than with a generic server comparison. Confirm where the domain is registered, where DNS is managed, where the website files and database reside, how SSL is issued, and which email records must remain unchanged. Also record forms, analytics, redirects, third-party scripts and any other service that could be affected by a move. Downey’s relationship to Los Angeles County matters here because the inventory should cover every location and service page the firm intentionally presents—not just a homepage labeled Downey. Population does not tell you which pages deserve infrastructure priority; your own site structure and intake path do.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current hosting arrangement, website platform, DNS records, SSL configuration, forms, redirects and email dependencies before approving a migration. Require a written list of what will move, what will remain with another provider and who will retain ownership of the domain.
