1. Start with the site and data you must protect
A hosting decision begins with an inventory. List the public website, forms, uploaded files, databases, analytics access, domain registration, DNS records, SSL certificates and any email records that point to the current provider. Do not assume that a website move includes every connected service. Confirm ownership and access for each item before approving a change. This matters for a Chaparral firm whose service area may be described across two counties: location pages, contact routes and intake forms should remain available and correctly connected after any infrastructure change.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current host, the website platform, the database, DNS, SSL, email records and administrative accounts. Request a written definition of what would move, what would remain with another provider, who would have permission to change each component, and how access would be returned if the relationship ended.
