1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory, not a server label. Review the website’s domain, hosting account, content management system, databases, forms, redirects, SSL arrangement, DNS records and any email records that could be affected by a move. Also identify who can change each item today. A West Covina firm may describe its service area as West Covina and Los Angeles County, but that geographic scope does not tell you how complex the website is or which systems require special handling. Bosseo says its migration work can include files, databases, DNS and SSL, and that it hosts existing sites. Ask which parts of your current environment are included in the proposed review and which require separate treatment.
Recommended approach
Bring a current asset and access inventory to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to identify dependencies before discussing a cutover, and retain ownership and administrative access to your domain and other firm-controlled assets.
