Accounting Software Hosting: Your Gateway to Cloud-Based Efficiency

Accounting software hosting is a service that allows you to run your preferred accounting software on remote servers accessible via the internet.

It operates by installing your chosen accounting software on our highly secure servers. This allows you to access and utilise the software from any device with an internet connection.

Accounting software hosting liberates you from the constraints of location, empowering you to work efficiently and collaborate seamlessly with others in real-time.

This level of accessibility and flexibility transforms the way you manage your financial tasks and operations, making it easier than ever to streamline your accounting processes.

Opting for accounting software hosting offers several advantages over traditional desktop solutions. With hosting, you gain unmatched flexibility, accessibility, and scalability. You can work from any location, collaborate in real-time with team members, and easily expand your resources as your business grows.

Hosting eliminates the need for costly hardware investments and IT maintenance, reducing operational costs and enhancing overall efficiency. This means you can focus more on your core business activities while enjoying the benefits of a seamlessly integrated, cloud-based accounting solution.

We’ve split our offering into three packages to accommodate the resources you’ll need, your business size, and the number of people who’ll have access. The prices are:

• R1160
• R1740
• R2170

As you’d expect, either of the options will get the job done, but larger and rapidly growing businesses will require more resources for their hosted accounting software. If you’d like a custom package, speak to our support team and we’ll arrange a bespoke package for you.

The same way you do with any of our hosting packages. Simply head to the product you want on our website and follow the prompts all the way to checkout. Besides deciding on the hosting package for your accounting software, you’ll have the option of choosing which software you’d like to use.

We offer three options to get you started: QuickBooks, Sage, Pastel. If you’d like any other accounting software, we accommodate that as well. Once you’ve made your purchase on the specific software, you can get straight into bookkeeping.

We take pride in offering comprehensive technical support to our clients. Our dedicated support team is available around the clock to address any inquiries or technical issues you may encounter with your VM.

Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring your experience is smooth and uninterrupted, minimising downtime, and maximising your productivity.

We value your peace of mind and are here to assist with any questions or challenges you may encounter during your hosting experience.

Our mission is to provide you with top-notch service and expert assistance, so you can focus on your financial tasks without disruptions.

Once you’ve acquired your Windows VPS your server will be ready for cloud accounting. Reach out to your accounting software provider to assist in transferring your financial data to the cloud to complete the server-based aspect of your bookkeeping.

If there are any issues with the server itself, we’ll be there to assist. Once your accounting software has been migrated to our servers with the help of your software provider, you’ll be able to manage and customise as you would any other Windows VPS.

Hosting your accounting software on the cloud is a hassle-free endeavour. By selecting our hosting service, you delegate the technical aspects of hosting to our capable team. We take care of the intricacies, allowing you to concentrate on managing your finances.

We'll guide you through setup and configuration, optimising your chosen software for the cloud environment.

This cloud-based approach offers enhanced accessibility and security, as your software and data are stored on remote servers, providing the flexibility to work from anywhere while keeping your financial information secure. Say goodbye to location restrictions and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with secure cloud-based accounting.

In a word, yes. As your business grows your resource requirements will as well. We can accommodate this growth and help you scale with our three packages. If you’d like something a bit more personalised, reach out to our expert support team and we’ll create a special package that’s suited to your needs. This goes the other way as well.

If you need to downscale for whatever reason, we can accommodate this change until you crunch the numbers to get back on your feet. We know profits can ebb and flow, but a clear look at the books will lend itself towards the flow.

This depends on a few factors:

• What kind of apps you intend on running? Be sure to check the software’s minimum requirements.
• What’s the maximum amount of memory you may need during peak hours? How much traffic will you get?
• How much storage space do you expect to need?

Still unsure? Talk to us for a recommendation.

If you don’t find a suitable VM size on our website, please contact us so we can offer you a custom solution to your exact requirements.

At reasonable rates, we offer you full flexibility of your backups. Order a backup plan add-on during checkout. These are snapshots that allow you to roll back your virtual machine to a previous state.

Each server is deployed with 1 IP address to start with. You can request additional IPs from us in case you need it. In such a case we charge a small monthly amount in addition.

Two (2) Admin RDP licenses are included as per Microsoft. More can be added during the checkout process.

Over and above making use of secure data centres, we have DDOS mitigation in place. You also have the flexibility to add additional security of your choice. Furthermore, we are an Acronis reseller.

You have the choice to add local backup or advanced offsite Acronis backup.
