What Is Application Hosting?

What Is an Application Hosting Provider?

An application hosting provider like Winscloud Matrix takes the desktop software your team already knows — QuickBooks, Sage, Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, and dozens of other accounting, tax, and business applications — and installs it on a secure, managed cloud server. Instead of being tied to one office computer, your team logs into a virtual desktop from any device with an internet connection, sees the exact same interface they use today, and picks up right where they left off. There is no new software to learn and no workflow to rebuild, only the same application running on infrastructure built for uptime, security, and speed.

This matters because Remote Desktop Hosting software was never designed for remote or hybrid teams. A single license tied to a single machine can only be used by whoever is sitting in front of it, which slows down collaboration and puts your data at risk if that machine fails. Application hosting removes that bottleneck. Your files live on redundant, professionally managed servers instead of a workstation under someone’s desk, and every authorized user can log in from home, the office, or the road without waiting on anyone else.

Application Coverage

Built for the Applications Your Business Already Runs On

Winscloud Matrix hosts the applications accounting firms, tax professionals, and growing businesses depend on every day, including QuickBooks, Sage, Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, TaxWise, ATX, UltraTax, ACT!, and Fishbowl, along with the add-ons and third-party tools that plug into them. Rather than forcing you onto a new platform, we bring your existing licenses onto infrastructure that keeps them fast, available, and protected.

Every hosted workspace is monitored around the clock, backed up daily, and secured with network firewalls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication, so your team can focus on client work instead of server maintenance. Whether you need a shared environment for a small office or a dedicated server for a multi-location enterprise, our engineers size the plan to your workload rather than the other way around.

Application Hosting Provider FAQs

Answers to common questions about choosing and working with an application hosting provider

An application hosting provider installs and manages your desktop software, such as QuickBooks Enterprise Hosting, Sage, or Drake, on a secure remote server. Instead of running the application on a single office computer, your team logs into a virtual desktop from any internet-connected device and works with the exact same software, files, and add-ons they already use.

Application hosting is a specific type of cloud hosting focused on running existing desktop software remotely, rather than building a new cloud-native application. Winscloud Matrix specializes in hosting the accounting, tax, and business applications companies already own, so there's no need to switch software or retrain your team.

We host a wide range of accounting, tax, and business applications, including QuickBooks (Pro, Premier, Enterprise, and POS), Sage (50, 100, 300, and 500), Drake Tax, Lacerte, ProSeries, TaxWise, ATX, UltraTax, ACT!, and Fishbowl, along with most third-party add-ons that integrate with them.

Pricing depends on the application, the number of users, and whether you choose shared or dedicated hosting. Winscloud Matrix offers flexible, pay-as-you-go plans so you only pay for the resources your team actually needs, with the option to scale up or down as your business changes.

Most migrations are completed in around 120 minutes, depending on the size of your data and the complexity of your setup. Our team handles the server configuration, software installation, and data transfer so your team can get back to work with minimal downtime.

Yes. Winscloud Matrix protects hosted applications and data with network firewalls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and daily automated backups. Our infrastructure is built to support industry-standard compliance requirements, including PCI, SSL, and HIPAA.
