1. Start with the site you actually operate
A Hellertown-serving firm may have a small brochure site, a large service library, or a website that serves visitors across Northampton County and Pennsylvania. The borough’s population estimate does not tell you which structure your site needs. Before selecting a host, inventory the site itself: its content management system, database, forms, redirects, media, domains, subdomains, email records and any external services that must continue working. Bosseo’s public hosting page describes migration of files, databases, DNS and SSL as part of its end-to-end migration approach. Your review should confirm which of those items apply to your website and which party is responsible for each one.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written inventory and migration boundary. Separate website hosting from domain registration, email hosting and third-party tools. Confirm who owns each account and who can approve a DNS change.
