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, media, databases, redirects, domain records, SSL configuration and any services that must continue working after a move. A firm serving Boonville may also serve clients elsewhere in Cooper County or Missouri, so the review should preserve the firm’s actual geographic scope rather than treating the city population as a forecast of website activity. Bosseo’s public hosting page says its migration work can include files, databases, DNS, SSL and email records. Those items should be confirmed against your current setup before any decision.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to map the current environment and identify which items are included, which require your approval and which depend on a third party. Do not approve a migration until ownership and access for the domain, website files, database, email records and analytics are clear.
