1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory, not a server label. Identify the public website, forms, databases, media, redirects, analytics, domain records, SSL certificates and any administrative access connected to it. If your firm serves Lowell and operates elsewhere in Kent County or Michigan, keep those geographic scopes distinct when reviewing pages and technical dependencies. Bosseo says it can host existing websites and handle migration, but the consultation should establish whether your current site is in scope and what it contains.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written inventory of the site and its dependencies. Decide which items are essential to preserve, which can be retired and who may approve changes. Do not approve a move until the current host, domain registrar, DNS access, email records and website administrator are identified.
