1. Start with the website’s actual dependencies
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory, not a server label. Identify the site, domain registrar, DNS records, SSL certificate, email records, databases, forms, analytics, redirects and any third-party services that receive inquiries. An Aurora firm may publish pages associated with the city and with Adams, Arapahoe or Douglas counties. Those geographic relationships make redirect and form testing especially important: a location page must resolve correctly, preserve its intended URL, load its assets and send its inquiry to the right destination. The population estimate for Aurora city is 394,432 in the 2020–2024 ACS five-year data, with a margin of error of 85. That is context for the municipality, not evidence of website demand, legal need or future matter volume.
Recommended approach
Bring a current domain and hosting inventory to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to identify which records and services would be reviewed before any migration, and define who approves changes to the domain, DNS and intake destinations.
