What makes QuickBooks hosting so unique?
As you can see from the table, all the listed features which any business should have in his accounting solution are only available in the hosted version. While on the other side, the remaining forms of using the QB have many of those qualities missing in their list.

The best part about the QuickBooks hosting is that it gives you all those advantages which earlier only giant businesses were capitalizing on. Building an in-house server for using the cloud accounting solution is not a practical solution for small businesses as it will require hiring of IT staffs, building your own infrastructure and still you will be able to use the software in your office premises only with device restriction as even after building your own infrastructure, you will have to install the software on each system of your office and that’s the only way of using it.
