QuickBooks cloud hosting means your licensed copy of QuickBooks Desktop runs on a secure remote server instead of your local office PC. You log in over the internet and get the exact same QuickBooks you already know — same menus, same file, same features — just accessible from anywhere instead of one machine.

Hosted QuickBooks only needs a stable broadband connection, since your device is simply displaying the session while the heavy processing happens on our servers. A dropped connection pauses your session rather than losing work, and you just reconnect where you left off.

Any Windows PC, Mac, Chromebook, or tablet with an internet connection works, since you connect through a lightweight remote desktop client rather than installing QuickBooks locally. This also means Mac users get full QuickBooks Desktop functionality that Intuit doesn’t offer natively.

No — that’s the point of hosting. Your local device’s operating system doesn’t matter, because QuickBooks itself runs on our Windows Server environment. Whether you’re on Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS, you connect the same way.

No. We migrate your existing company file, lists, and settings exactly as they are — nothing gets recreated from scratch. Your historical transactions, templates, and customizations move over intact, and we verify the file before handing over access.

No. We handle QuickBooks updates, Windows patches, and server maintenance on our end, so you’re always on a current, supported version without lifting a finger.

You can bring your existing valid QuickBooks license — hosting doesn’t require repurchasing software you already own. If you need a new license or want to upgrade editions, we can help you source one as an authorized reseller.

Yes. Most QuickBooks-compatible add-ons — payroll tools, payment processors, inventory and CRM integrations — can run in the same hosted environment. Send us the specific add-ons you use and we’ll confirm compatibility before migration.

Hosted QuickBooks typically runs faster than a local install, especially for multi-user file access, since our servers use enterprise-grade SSD storage rather than a single office workstation. Performance depends on a stable connection, but the application itself isn’t limited by your local hardware anymore.

QuickBooks Online is a separate, browser-based product with its own feature set. Hosted QuickBooks Desktop is your familiar Desktop edition — Pro, Premier, or Enterprise — with the same reports and industry features, just delivered remotely.

As many as your QuickBooks license allows for multi-user access — hosting doesn’t add a separate limit on top of that. Each team member gets their own login and permissions, without the file-locking issues common on office networks.

Your data sits in secure data centers with firewall protection, encryption, and access controls, backed up on a regular automated schedule. We’re happy to walk through the exact backup frequency and retention window for your plan.

We host QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise, and Accountant editions, including recent and several prior-year versions. Let us know your current version and edition, and we’ll confirm hosting compatibility upfront.

Routine maintenance is scheduled during off-peak hours across redundant servers, so it’s designed to avoid interrupting your workday. If any planned downtime could affect you, we notify clients in advance.
