1. Start with the site you actually operate
South Charleston is recorded as a municipality in Kanawha County, West Virginia. That geographic relationship matters when you inventory the site: list the South Charleston pages, county references, service pages, contact paths and any other locations your firm intentionally serves. Do not treat the city’s 2020–2024 ACS population estimate of 13,457 as evidence of search demand, case volume or hosting requirements. It is context for identifying the market named in your page—not a forecast of website activity. Before discussing a move, review the site’s content management system, databases, media, forms, redirects, domain registration, DNS records and email records. A hosting decision should protect the assets that support your South Charleston and Kanawha County presence while making clear which parts of the site are in scope.
Recommended approach
Bring a current domain and hosting inventory to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to identify what it can migrate, what it needs from the current provider and which items require separate approval.
