An introduction of QuickBooks Cloud Hosting

QuickBooks cloud hosting is a service that allows businesses and individuals to access their QuickBooks data files from anywhere anytime through internet connected devices. Whereas previously you use to access the locally installed application on local computer, but with QuickBooks cloud hosting, a hosting provider maintains the QB program and your files on their secure server and provide you login credentials to access the server for accounting use.

If your work evermore requires you or your office employee to do accounting work outside of office, being able to access software while working home, office or traveling may not be an issue for you and your employee or business partner. Whenever, in future, if you need to access your file out of your work office, you will definitely need some sort of remote access option. There are three options available wherefrom you can access the accounting resources from remote location:

·   QuickBooks Online Edition: QuickBooks online edition is an online web-based version of QuickBooks software developed by Intuit Company. While there are common functions in both Intuit products QuickBooks online and QuickBooks desktop version, but there are also functions found in QuickBooks Online edition not found in QuickBooks Desktop edition, and vice-versa. QuickBooks online allows you access your information from anywhere via internet connected device, it is not the similar of desktop version of QuickBooks and it has more limitation into the functions and features, this means it might not have everything you need. QuickBooks online is accessible from Intuit’s server, which means the thousands and more of users access the server in same time, due to heavy traffic on the site the speed goes slower. In this case if Intuit’s server goes down, you will not access your data.
