QuickBooks Hosting (also known as QuickBooks Cloud or Hosted QuickBooks) refers to the installation of QuickBooks Desktop version on the network server hosted over the internet to enable access via a web browser from any location. Simply put, data and files in a Hosted QuickBooks can be accessed by the authenticated user from anywhere, anytime, without installing it on a local machine.
Here is how QuickBooks on cloud works:
Licensed copies of QuickBooks are installed on the server of a service provider.
The QuickBooks user is provided access to the server over the Internet with certain configurations:
– Proper security steps are deployed to secure the application
– Connectivity between the end-user device and the server is accomplished using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that can be configured to login as the desired user.
– Server is customized to be accessed from any device (smartphone, tablet, desktop, etc.) working on different Operating Systems/platforms (Windows, iOS, MacOS, Android, etc.)
The user can access and work on QuickBooks via a web browser (like Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc.) or RDP shortcut. The rest of the UI, features, and other functionalities remain same as of QB Desktop.
All the changes made on hosted QuickBooks are saved automatically and will appear to all authorized users.
