1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
Before changing hosts, document the current website as it exists. Identify the content management system, domains and subdomains, forms, redirects, media, databases, analytics, email-related DNS records and any outside services that depend on the domain. This is especially important for a law firm because an intake form, consultation request or phone number can be more important than a visually polished page. Bosseo says its migration work can include files, databases, DNS and SSL, but your consultation should establish which of those items apply to your site and who must approve each change. Moore’s relationship to Cleveland County helps define the geographic context for your firm’s site and intake review; it does not tell you which hosting arrangement is appropriate.
Recommended approach
Request a written inventory of the assets to be moved, retained or excluded. Ask who owns each account, whether your firm will keep administrative access and how the inventory will be checked before and after migration.
