1. Start with the site you actually operate
A hosting decision should begin with an inventory, not a server label. Record the site platform, domain registrar, DNS provider, email records, databases, forms, analytics, redirects, media files and any services that depend on the domain. This matters for a Jamestown firm because the town sits in Newport County, while the firm’s service area may extend beyond the municipal boundary. Hosting does not decide that geographic scope; it must support the site you have chosen to operate across it. Bosseo says its migration process can handle files, databases, DNS, SSL and email records. Those items still need to be identified and checked against your current setup before a move.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written inventory of what will move, what will remain with another provider and who can authorize DNS or registrar changes. Treat any item that is not documented as an open decision rather than assuming it will transfer automatically.
