1. Start with the website you actually need to protect
A hosting review should begin with the live site, not with a generic server label. Identify the domain, website platform, databases, forms, redirects, certificates, media files and any other components that must continue working. If the firm serves Dublin and other parts of Alameda County, record which pages, contact paths and location references are business-critical. Do not treat population as a forecast of traffic. The Census record establishes Dublin’s municipal and county relationship, but it cannot tell you how many people will visit a law firm website or what they will do there.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current site and define the assets that would be included in a hosting decision. Require a written boundary between website hosting, domain ownership, email service and any third-party tools. This prevents a migration conversation from quietly becoming a change to services the firm did not intend to move.
