1. Start with the site you actually need to protect
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory rather than a server label. Identify the domains, subdomains, website platform, databases, forms, media libraries, redirects, analytics, SSL certificates and DNS records that make the public site work. If your firm serves North Strabane from elsewhere in Washington County or across Pennsylvania, document that geographic scope in the site architecture and in the technical review; the township’s population estimate does not establish how many visitors will arrive or what they need. Bosseo describes its hosting as suitable for law firms and says it can host sites it did not build. Whether a proposed move is suitable depends on the present site’s technology and dependencies.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written inventory of what will move, what will remain with another provider and who owns each account. Do not approve a migration until your firm can identify the domain registrar, DNS administrator, email provider and current host.
