1. Define the website’s operating boundary
Lebanon is a municipality in Boone County, Indiana. The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate for Lebanon city is 17,812, with a margin of error of 672. That geographic fact can help you define the public service area for the website, but it does not establish search demand, client volume, competition or revenue. Hosting decisions should therefore begin with the actual website and the firm’s operating requirements, not with a population assumption. Identify which domains, subdomains, staging environments and web applications need to remain available. Confirm who owns the domain, who can change DNS, and which parts of the site are essential to contact and intake.
Recommended approach
Bring a current inventory to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to distinguish the website itself from domain registration, DNS management, email service and any third-party tools. Decide which systems are in scope before discussing migration.
