1. Start with the website and domain definitions
Before moving anything, identify what is actually being hosted. That can include the website files, database, media, redirects, SSL configuration and DNS records. Your domain registration is a separate asset from the server that delivers the site. Email records may also be connected to the domain without being hosted alongside the website. A Prosser firm serving clients in Benton County may rely on one public site for several practice areas, but the hosting decision still turns on the site’s current structure and dependencies. Bosseo’s public hosting page says its migration work can cover files, database, DNS, SSL and email records. Those items should be named and checked rather than treated as a single undifferentiated transfer.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written inventory of the site, domain, DNS, email records, third-party services and administrative accounts before approving a move. Confirm which assets remain owned by the firm and which permissions Bosseo would need.
