A website only earns money when it is available, fast and protected. McBorrough hosting keeps the infrastructure behind your website managed so you can focus on the business instead of becoming your own hosting technician.
HOSTING – SECURITY – BACKUPS – SUPPORT
Managed Web Hosting in Northern Virginia
Hosting You Never Have to Think About
Updates handled. Backups running. Security monitored. And when something matters, you have a real team in Northern Virginia that already understands your website. No ticket black holes. No finger-pointing between vendors. No surprise renewal games.
HOSTING SHOULD DISAPPEAR INTO THE BACKGROUND
You Should Notice Your Hosting Only When You Need Us.
Business owners should not spend their week thinking about server settings, plugin conflicts, backups, SSL certificates or whether the website is still online.
The infrastructure should quietly do its job. And when something does need attention, the person helping should understand the website instead of asking you to explain how everything was built.
HOST IT. MAINTAIN IT. PROTECT IT. SUPPORT IT.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
More Than Space on a Server
WHY HOST WITH THE TEAM THAT BUILT YOUR SITE?
One Team Can See the Whole Website.
When the developer, host and maintenance company are all different vendors, a problem can turn into three support conversations where everyone points somewhere else.
McBorrough can manage the website, its hosting and the ongoing technical care together. If something changes on the site, we understand the larger system around it. If the business needs a new feature later, the hosting can be considered as part of that decision.
ONE WEBSITE – ONE TEAM – FEWER HANDOFFS
MANAGED WORDPRESS HOSTING
The Software Behind the Site Keeps Changing.
WordPress websites are built from multiple moving parts. WordPress itself changes. Themes change. Plugins change. PHP changes. Browsers change. Integrations change.
Managed hosting means those changes are treated as part of operating the website rather than something the business owner discovers after a feature stops working.
CORE – THEME – PLUGINS – COMPATIBILITY – SUPPORT
BACKUPS AND RECOVERY
A Backup Matters When You Need to Use It.
Backups are part of the recovery plan behind the website. If an update fails, a file becomes damaged or another technical problem affects the site, having recoverable copies gives us a way to respond.
The exact backup schedule and retention can depend on the hosting configuration and the needs of the website, especially for active ecommerce or frequently changing sites.
BACKUP – RECOVER – VERIFY – RETURN TO SERVICE
SECURITY
Protect the Site Before There Is a Problem.
Website security is not one switch. It is a combination of keeping software current, protecting encrypted connections, monitoring for problems, maintaining backups and responding when something unusual appears.
HOSTING SECURITY CAN INCLUDE
SSL management
Software updates
Malware monitoring
Backup protection
Technical troubleshooting
PERFORMANCE MATTERS
Hosting Is Part of Website Performance.
A beautifully designed website can still feel slow if the infrastructure underneath it is not appropriate for the size, traffic and complexity of the site.
We look at hosting as one part of the larger performance picture alongside caching, image optimization, WordPress configuration, plugins, integrations and the way the website itself is built.
SERVER – WORDPRESS – CACHE – IMAGES – CODE – DATABASE
ECOMMERCE AND BUSINESS CRITICAL WEBSITES
Not Every Website Needs the Same Hosting.
A small information website and an active ecommerce store do not place the same demands on a hosting environment. Traffic, database activity, plugins, integrations, media and transaction volume all affect what the site needs.
As a website becomes more important to daily business operations, we can evaluate whether the current hosting still fits instead of forcing every site into the same package.
WHEN THE WEBSITE GROWS
Your Hosting Should Be Able to Grow With the Business.
More traffic, ecommerce, membership systems, larger databases, customer portals, new integrations and heavier applications can change what the website requires from its infrastructure.
When that happens, the answer should be to evaluate the system and move to the right level of hosting rather than waiting for the site to repeatedly hit its limits.
START RIGHT. MONITOR. GROW WHEN THE SITE NEEDS IT.
ALREADY HAVE A WEBSITE SOMEWHERE ELSE?
We Can Review the Current Hosting Before You Move.
A hosting move should solve a problem, not create a new one. Before migration, we can review the website, current environment and known issues so the move is planned around what the site actually needs.
That may include reviewing storage, traffic, WordPress requirements, database size, email dependencies, DNS, SSL, backups and any integrations that could be affected by the migration.
REAL HUMAN SUPPORT
Support From People Who Understand the Website.
When something appears wrong, you should not have to diagnose whether the problem belongs to the server, WordPress, a plugin, a form, a cache or the website itself before asking for help.
Send the issue to McBorrough. We start from the website and work backward through the system to determine what needs attention.
ONE PLACE TO START WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG.
HOSTING AND WEBSITE MAINTENANCE
Hosting Keeps the Site Online. Maintenance Keeps It Healthy.
Hosting and website maintenance are closely connected, but they are not exactly the same thing. Hosting provides the environment the website runs on. Maintenance covers the ongoing care of the website itself.
McBorrough can combine those responsibilities so infrastructure, software, troubleshooting and website support are managed as one operating system instead of unrelated subscriptions.
PART OF DIGITAL OPERATIONS
The Website Does Not Operate by Itself.
Hosting can connect to a much larger operating environment that includes analytics, forms, email delivery, CRM systems, ecommerce, security, automation and third-party integrations.
For businesses that want one technical partner responsible for more of that infrastructure, hosting can become part of McBorrough Digital Operations.
WEBSITE – HOSTING – SECURITY – ANALYTICS – INTEGRATIONS – SUPPORT

WEB HOSTING FAQ
Questions About Hosting With McBorrough
What is included with managed hosting?
The exact hosting configuration depends on the website, but managed service can include the hosting environment, SSL, backups, security monitoring, WordPress updates and technical support. Your proposal will identify what is included for your site.
Do I have to host a website that McBorrough built?
If your existing website was built elsewhere, we can first review the site and current environment to determine whether it is a good fit for migration and ongoing management.
Are backups included?
Regular backups are part of the managed hosting approach. The exact schedule, storage and retention can vary based on the website and hosting configuration and will be identified for the account.
What happens if the website goes down?
Contact McBorrough and give us the symptoms you are seeing. Because hosting, WordPress and website functionality can affect one another, we investigate the larger system instead of expecting you to determine which vendor is responsible first.
Can you move my website from another hosting company?
Yes, when the website and hosting environment are suitable for migration. We review the site first so important requirements such as DNS, SSL, email connections, forms and integrations can be considered before the move.
Can the hosting grow if my website gets bigger?
Yes. If traffic, ecommerce, database activity, integrations or new functionality change what the website needs, we can review the environment and recommend the next level rather than leaving the site on a plan it has outgrown.
Is hosting the same as website maintenance?
Not exactly. Hosting provides the environment where the website runs. Website maintenance covers ongoing care of WordPress, themes, plugins, functionality and website changes. McBorrough can manage both so they work together.
PART OF THE OPERATE SYSTEM
Keep the Technology Behind the Business Running.
Hosting is one part of how McBorrough helps businesses operate their digital infrastructure after the website launches.
