1. Start with the site your firm actually operates
A hosting review should begin with the website, domain and services you use now—not with a generic assumption about Morris. Your firm may serve clients in Morris, elsewhere in Stevens County or across Minnesota; the Census record establishes the city and county relationship but does not establish where inquiries originate. Map the pages that prospective clients need, the forms or contact routes they use, the people who edit the site and the systems that must remain available. Bosseo’s public Dedicated Hosting page says it can host existing sites and describes migration of files, databases, DNS, SSL and email records as part of its stated process. Those items should be confirmed against your own environment.
Recommended approach
Ask for a current-state review covering your domain registrar, DNS, hosting account, content management system, forms, analytics, SSL, email records, administrator access and backup arrangements. Do not approve a move until the parties agree which assets are included and who retains ownership of the domain.
