1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory, not a label. Record the website domains, CMS or application, databases, forms, media, redirects, analytics, DNS records, SSL certificates and any other services that depend on the current host. Separate public website content from administrative access and from systems that handle confidential firm information. The fact that Anderson is a municipality in Madison County helps define the location used in this review; the Census population estimate for Anderson city is 55,367 for the 2020–2024 ACS five-year period, with a margin of error of 590. That figure is geographic context only. It does not establish website demand or legal need.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current environment and produce a written inventory of what would be hosted, what would remain with another provider and what permissions would be required. Do not approve a move until ownership of the domain and access to the current host are clear.
