1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
Howard is recorded in the 2020–2024 American Community Survey as a municipal town in Cass County, Michigan, with an estimated population of 6,278 and a margin of error of 43. It does, however, make geographic definition important: a firm may serve Howard, other parts of Cass County, nearby metropolitan areas or clients elsewhere in Michigan. Review the production domain, staging environment, databases, forms, media, redirects, SSL certificates, DNS records and any third-party services that the site depends on.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to document what would be hosted, what would remain with another provider and who controls each account. Keep the scope tied to your firm’s service area and website architecture; do not treat Howard, Cass County and Michigan as interchangeable audiences.
