Hosting FAQs
Accounting Platform Hosting: Common Questions
Clear answers on security, migration, remote access, and how managed hosting compares to running accounting software on your own hardware.
What is accounting platform hosting?
Accounting platform hosting moves your existing accounting software, such as QuickBooks Desktop or Sage 50, onto a secure cloud server you reach from any device. It is often called hosted desktop or managed hosting, with QuickBooks hosting and Sage hosting the most common. You keep the same software and license. We install, secure, back up, and support it, so there is no physical hardware to buy or maintain.
Is hosted QuickBooks Desktop the same as QuickBooks Online?
No. QuickBooks Online is cloud-native accounting software rebuilt for the browser, with fewer desktop features. Hosted QuickBooks Desktop is your full desktop program running on a cloud server, so every Pro, Premier, and Enterprise feature works exactly as before. Hosting gives you remote access and multi-user access without giving up the desktop tools your workflow depends on.
What security features protect hosted accounting data?
Your data sits in SOC 2 Type II data centers protected by AES-256 (256-bit) encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication on every login, and nightly automated backups with point-in-time recovery. The facilities run 24/7 monitoring, DDoS protection, and intrusion detection. These security features deliver bank-level data security that most small businesses cannot build on their own hardware.
Are your data centers SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. Our hosting runs in SOC 2 Type II compliant data centers, the standard enterprise buyers and accounting firms expect. Many facilities also align with frameworks such as ISO 27001. Combined with AES-256 encryption and enforced MFA, this satisfies the regulatory compliance and security protocol requirements most CPA firms and financial teams are held to.
Can remote workers access the accounting software?
Yes. Every authorized user gets secure remote access to the same live company file from any location or device. Multi-user access means your bookkeeper, accountant, and remote workers all work in real time on one authoritative file, with real-time data access for everyone. No more emailing QBW files back and forth or waiting for one person in the office to finish.
How does data migration to the cloud work?
Our data migration service moves your company files from a local PC or server into the hosted environment, typically within 24 hours and with zero data loss. Every balance is verified and every user tested before go-live. We size the cloud server first, then migrate, so nothing goes live until the numbers reconcile cleanly.
What is the uptime SLA, and what happens if a server fails?
Hosting includes a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by 24/7 monitoring, so your books stay available even when your office is not. Disaster recovery and nightly automated backups mean a hardware failure, ransomware attack, or accidental deletion does not cost you your financial records. Recovery is built into the service, not something you configure yourself.
Self-hosted accounting software vs managed hosting: which is better?
Self-hosted accounting software on your own server means you buy the physical hardware and own the IT support, patching, backups, and security. Managed hosting shifts that entire IT infrastructure burden to us. You get a cloud server, managed IT, and accounting-aware support for a predictable cost, with no hardware to replace and no on-premise deployment to maintain.
Do we still need an IT department or IT support?
Not for your accounting stack. Managed hosting includes the IT support a hosted environment needs: server setup, security patching, MFA enforcement, backups, and uptime monitoring. Your team logs in and works. That removes the IT bills and IT infrastructure headaches that come with running accounting software on office hardware or an ageing on-site server.
Which accounting platforms can you host?
We host QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 50 and Sage 100, and NetSuite, and provide a managed access and expert support layer for cloud accounting platforms like Xero, FreshBooks, and Wave. Unlike specialized hosting providers that only rent you a cloud server for cloud-hosted accounting software, we also understand and fix what runs inside it.
Does hosting help with WISP and tax-preparer compliance?
Yes. The IRS and the FTC Safeguards Rule require paid tax preparers to maintain a Written Information Security Plan, or WISP. Hosting your accounting software in SOC 2 Type II data centers with encryption, MFA, and access controls covers much of what a WISP documents, which is why many accounting firms move to hosted infrastructure specifically for compliance and data security.
Do hosted Sage and Xero stay Making Tax Digital ready?
Yes. Hosted Sage 50 and Xero run the same versions that support Making Tax Digital submissions, kept current through managed updates. You keep MTD-ready reporting tools and full multi-user access, hosted and monitored, without managing the underlying cloud server or software updates yourself.
