1. Start with the site you operate today
A hosting decision should begin with the current environment, not a generic comparison between shared and dedicated plans. Review the site’s platform, database, domains, DNS records, SSL configuration, email records, redirects, administrator accounts, third-party services and current backup method. This matters for a Maple Valley firm because the city is in King County; your website may serve a narrowly local audience, a countywide practice or a wider Washington market. The geographic scope affects what pages, redirects and tracking paths must remain intact during a move.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the current host and identify dependencies before you approve a migration. Separate facts that can be tested—such as page response, certificate status and backup availability—from decisions your firm must make, such as who may access the site and how restoration should be authorized.
