1. Start with the firm’s actual hosting inventory
Hoffman Estates is a municipality in Illinois associated with Cook County and Kane County. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 51,175, with a margin of error of 485. That geographic fact helps define the market context for a firm serving the village; it does not establish search demand, case volume or website traffic. Your hosting review should therefore begin with your own inventory, not with a population assumption. Identify the website, domain registrar, DNS provider, email records, databases, forms, analytics, third-party scripts and administrator accounts. A site that serves clients in Hoffman Estates may also serve people elsewhere in Cook County, Kane County or Illinois, so the infrastructure review should cover the whole website rather than a single location page.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to map the current hosting arrangement and distinguish domain ownership, DNS control, website files, database access and email records. Require a written list of what Bosseo would manage and what would remain under your firm’s control.
