For nearly 40 years, small and medium-sized businesses have relied on Intuit??? QuickBooks accounting software to handle their bookkeeping and support them like a personal CPA. From invoicing to year-end tax preparation, QuickBooks software is an integral part of their daily workflows and has evolved to meet a whole range of business needs when it comes to managing and recording finances.

Part of that evolution has been the introduction of a cloud solution to complement the traditional desktop version of QuickBooks. Unlike the versions of QuickBooks that are installed and run locally on a Microsoft Windows or Mac computer, QuickBooks Online adopts a cloud computing model. This allows multi-user access to QuickBooks via a web browser as well as mobile apps. Pricing, like most software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, is a monthly subscription that varies depending on the number of seats and selected add-ons.

QuickBooks Desktop vs. QuickBooks Online

For some organizations, the major drawback to QuickBooks Online is that it lacks some of the functionality of QuickBooks desktop software. In the past, important features like job costing have been present in the desktop version but missing in the cloud editions of QuickBooks. Some small businesses also prefer to pay the one-time upfront cost of the desktop software rather than the ongoing monthly fees.

An alternative to QuickBooks Online is QuickBooks Desktop hosting, which combines elements of the two. Hosted QuickBooks is typically a scenario in which the desktop software is run on a local computer, an on-premises server or a data center server provided by a hosting service. QuickBooks users can then connect to the local software hosting solutions or the off-network server through some form of local network or remote access, such as a remote desktop client.

As you can imagine, these configurations involve many moving parts and can be tricky to set up. They also often involve changes to device firewalls and other security settings to facilitate access. To better maintain data security when using a third-party cloud server, it??? important for organizations to seek out an Authorized QuickBooks Hosting Providers. Cloud hosting providers with this seal of approval have been vetted by Intuit and confirmed to be taking appropriate security measures to protect your data.

However, you will end up paying ongoing fees for dedicated QuickBooks Enterprise Remote Hosting from these providers, and the cost may or may not include customer support, technical support or uptime guarantees. Exact pricing will depend on the hosting plan you negotiate.
