1. Start with the website you actually operate
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory of the live website, not a generic comparison between “shared” and “dedicated.” Identify the current provider, domain registrar, DNS records, SSL arrangement, email records, content management system, databases, forms and third-party services. Also note whether the website serves only Redland or supports a wider Montgomery County, Maryland or metropolitan service area. Those geographic relationships affect the pages, contact paths and redirects that must be preserved during a move. Bosseo’s public hosting page says its migration work can include files, databases, DNS and email records. Confirm the exact scope for your site before authorizing a change.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current hosting arrangement and produce a written migration boundary: what moves, what remains with another provider, who controls each account and what the firm must approve.
