1. Start with the site you have, not an assumed infrastructure problem
A firm serving Brookings may already have a functioning website, a slow website, a site managed by a web vendor, or a domain and email arrangement that needs careful separation. The city is recorded as a municipality in Curry County, so the first review should preserve the exact geographic scope of your site and service area rather than treating every Oregon visitor or every Curry County resident as the same audience. Before moving anything, identify the current host, content management system, DNS provider, domain registrar, email records, SSL arrangement and people who can approve a change. Bosseo says it can migrate existing websites, including WordPress or otherwise, and handle files, databases, DNS, SSL, redirects and email records as part of the move.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to inspect the current environment and write down what would move, what would remain with another provider, and what must be tested before DNS changes. Do not approve a migration until ownership and access responsibilities are clear.
