The difference between QuickBooks Hosting, QuickBooks Online and, In-house Server 
                     DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 
QUICKBOOKS HOSTING, 
QUICKBOOKS ONLINE AND 
IN-HOUSE HOSTING
There are three options to get work done in QuickBooks and we will be 
looking at the pros and cons of all these features and know them in 
detail. 
Cloud accounting has become a new normal for most of the people. The old traditional 
method of accounting has been replaced by the advantageous cloud accounting solution
and the numerous advantages of the cloud accounting solution over the traditional method 
of accounting is forcing more and more people to move out from their dull method of 
accounting and become a tech-savvy accountant. 
Well, to ease this complexity in terms of choice of cloud accounting solution, we have 
compiled a detailed explanation of all three options of cloud accounting solution along 
with their comparison.

QUICKBOOKS HOSTING 
SERVER
• The most appropriate and admired cloud 
accounting option which is used on a 
major scale is QuickBooks hosting.  
• In this option of cloud accounting, you 
have all those advantages which don’t 
come along with the other two options. In 
the QuickBooks hosting solution, you 
don’t have to pay a huge amount of 
money as it is quite an economical option 
and along with that, the number of users 
you can add to your QuickBooks hosting 
solution is also unlimited. 
• But the benefits don’t end here as you 
also get automatic backup, automatic 
updates, high-end security system and 
much more. 
QUICKBOOKS ONLINE
• The next option which many people confuse 
with hosted QuickBooks is also an effective 
solution of cloud accounting in which the 
user accesses the QB software on the 
browser and it is also an economical solution. 
• There are millions of users of QuickBooks 
online services but even with such an 
advanced solution, there are multiple 
limitations. The first limitation of QBO lies in 
the multi-user access because the number of 
people you can add in this option is limited.
•  Along with it, you also have to create backup 
on your own which is a big headache. 
IN-HOUSE SERVER
• The first option in which you can shift 
to the cloud accounting solution is 
through the in-house server. 
• In this option, the user has to pour in 
a lot of money because it requires the 
installation of IT infrastructure which 
will be used as a private cloud server. 
• In addition to this, the money is also 
spent on the IT team which is 
responsible for managing the IT 
infrastructure and thus the user of 
the in-house server is himself 
responsible for the uptime, security, 
and speed as there is no third party 
involved in it.
