1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
A hosting review should begin with an inventory, not a server label. Identify the website, domain and DNS records; the content management system; databases; forms; media; redirects; SSL certificates; email records; analytics; and any tools that receive an inquiry. A firm serving Elmwood Park may also have pages referring to Cook County or other Illinois locations. Those geographic relationships should be documented so a move does not leave important pages, links or contact paths behind. Bosseo’s public hosting page says its migration work covers files, databases, DNS, SSL and email records. The page also describes hosting on Bosseo’s own dedicated servers.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current host, site components, DNS ownership and external services before you approve a migration. Request a written inventory of what will move, what will remain with another provider and who is responsible for each item.
