1. Start with the site you actually operate
Auburn is a municipality in Cayuga County, New York, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 26,285 and a margin of error of 35. For hosting, its value is narrower: it helps define the local scope of the firm’s public-facing site and the location references that may appear in its pages. Before discussing infrastructure, inventory the site’s current pages, forms, media, databases, domain, DNS records and email-related records. A local firm should also distinguish Auburn pages from pages intended for Cayuga County or a broader New York audience. Hosting should support the site’s actual information architecture rather than an assumed audience size.
Recommended approach
Bring a current site map and account inventory to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to identify which assets would move, which would remain with another provider and which records would be changed.
