1. Define the site and geographic scope before moving anything
Lancaster is a municipal town in Erie County, New York, with a 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate of 45,148 and a margin of error of 29. That is context for identifying the firm’s location and service area; it does not establish search demand, legal need, competition or prospective-client volume. Hosting decisions should therefore begin with the actual website and its obligations, not with a population figure. List the domains, subdomains, landing pages, media files, databases and administrative accounts that belong in scope. Then separate the public site from email, registrar ownership and any external tools. A Lancaster firm may serve clients beyond the town, but the hosting review should preserve the firm’s chosen geographic language rather than silently expanding or narrowing it.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to document exactly what would be hosted, what would remain with another provider and which firm-owned accounts must stay under your control. Include the Lancaster and Erie County references used on the site in the content and redirect inventory, but do not treat those references as evidence of performance.
