1. Start with the site and service area you actually operate
A hosting decision should begin with the exact website and geographic scope it must support. If your firm serves Fresno city, Fresno County or another defined California service area, list those relationships separately rather than treating every local reference as interchangeable. The U.S. Census Bureau records Fresno city as a municipality in Fresno County and reports a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 545,970, with a margin of error of 90. That is context for defining the audience and site structure, not proof of legal demand or search performance. Review which domains, subdomains, landing pages, forms and publishing areas belong to the firm. Then identify whether your current host supports the way the site is maintained today. Bosseo says its Dedicated Hosting is built for law firms and runs sites on its own dedicated servers. The consultation should establish what that means for your specific website rather than assuming the same configuration fits every firm.
Recommended approach
Bring a current inventory of domains, site sections, forms and third-party services. Ask Bosseo to state which items would move, which would remain outside the hosting arrangement and who would be responsible for each dependency.
