Start with the site you actually operate
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory rather than a promise. Record the current host, domain registrar, content management system, databases, forms, redirects, SSL certificate arrangements, email records, analytics and any third-party services that must continue working. Separate website hosting from domain ownership and email service. Bosseo’s public hosting page says migration can include files, databases, DNS and email records, but your firm should still ask how each item will be mapped and tested. The Jackson geography matters because the site may serve people seeking a Jackson, Jackson County or broader Michigan firm; those audiences can use different pages and pathways. Do not treat the city population estimate as a forecast of website demand.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written inventory and migration scope before approving a move. Require a clear list of included systems, excluded systems, required access and the person responsible for each approval.
