Is Dedicated Hosting appropriate for every Laurel law firm?+
Not necessarily. The decision depends on your current host, site architecture, security requirements, recovery needs, permissions and performance measurements. Laurel’s population estimate does not establish that a firm needs dedicated infrastructure. Review the actual website and its dependencies first.
Will moving hosting improve my Google rankings?+
Hosting can affect technical factors such as speed and availability, but a hosting change does not guarantee crawling, indexing, rankings, leads or revenue. Evaluate performance separately from search outcomes.
What should we provide before a hosting review?+
Provide the domain, current host, DNS provider, email requirements, administrator contacts, important forms, certificates, redirects, third-party scripts and any backup or recovery documentation you have. Also identify the Laurel and Henrico County pages that are important to your firm.
Will our domain remain ours?+
Bosseo’s public hosting page states that the domain stays registered to and owned by the client while DNS pointing is managed for the hosted site. Confirm the account structure, registrar access and any handoff procedures for your engagement.
What happens to email during a website migration?+
Bosseo’s public page says email records are mapped before cutover. Email behavior should still be checked as part of your firm’s migration plan. Confirm the records, responsible parties, testing method and post-cutover verification before authorizing a DNS change.
What security and backup capabilities does Bosseo describe?+
The public Dedicated Hosting page lists SSL encryption, a firewall, DDoS protection, managed security updates, 24/7 monitoring and automatic daily backups. Ask for the operational details that matter to your firm, including access controls, backup retention, restore procedures and incident communication.
