1. Start with the site you actually need to operate
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory of the website, not a server label. Record the site’s platform, domains, subdomains, databases, forms, media, redirects, SSL certificate arrangements, email-related DNS records and any outside services that depend on the domain. If your firm serves Wauconda and other Lake County communities, identify which pages are essential to the site’s current information architecture and which are no longer needed. The geographic relationship matters because a migration should preserve the pages and pathways your firm intentionally maintains for its service area; it should not become an excuse to create unsupported local pages.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current hosting arrangement and define what would move, what would remain with another provider and who would approve each change. Request a written boundary around the website, domain registration, DNS, email records and third-party services before authorizing a cutover.
