1. Start with the site you need to keep dependable
A hosting decision should begin with your existing website, not with a generic location claim. Orchard Homes is a CDP in Missoula County, so your firm should define which geographic audiences the site is intended to serve: Orchard Homes, the wider county, Montana or another stated service area. The Census population estimate can provide geographic context, but it cannot tell you how many people search for legal services, how many become inquiries or how many matters your firm may receive. For hosting, the practical issue is whether the current environment keeps the site available and usable for the pages, forms and publishing activity you operate.
Recommended approach
Bring your current host, domain registrar, DNS provider, SSL arrangements, content management system and intake forms to the review. Ask Bosseo to identify what would move, what would remain with another provider and who would be responsible for each dependency. Do not approve a migration until ownership, access and recovery responsibilities are written down.
