1. Start with the site your Swannanoa firm actually operates
A hosting review should begin with the website rather than a generic comparison between shared and dedicated servers. List the domains and subdomains that matter, the content management system, forms, scripts, databases, email records and third-party services connected to the site. Separate the public website from tools that should not move with it. The firm’s location in Buncombe County may affect how you describe the service area, but it does not determine the site’s technical requirements. A Swannanoa firm serving clients beyond the CDP may need a broader content and traffic review than a site aimed only at one community.
Recommended approach
Bring the current host, domain registrar, DNS administrator and website administrator information to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to identify what it can host, what must remain with another provider and what access will be needed before any move is approved.
