What’s the difference between QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Hosting?
QuickBooks Online can be a nice online solution if your business doesn’t need the full functionality of Intuit’s QuickBooks desktop versions (Pro, Premier or Enterprise) and it is an entirely different program to learn and navigate than the desktop editions.
Cloud9 Real Time offers the full desktop version of your favorite QuickBooks programs – its an alternative to QuickBooks Online for those businesses that require the anytime, anywhere access of QuickBooks Online, but also need the ability to do inventory, grouping, and other features only included in the full desktop versions.
For companies with multiple QuickBooks files, we can be a very cost effective alternative to QuickBooks Online because we charge per user instead of per file like QuickBooks Online. In addition, with Cloud9 Real Time, you get secure online access to the full featured QuickBooks desktop programs, plus you get unlimited online data storage with continuous off-site backup and online access to MS Word, Excel and PDF Reader/Writer all in a privately labeled portal – so you’re getting a full virtual office, not just online access to the limited QuickBooks Online program.

Before You Begin
Your computer must meet the minimum system requirements to access the Cloud.
If you are NOT working from a Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer, you will need to upgrade to Windows Service Pack 3 and the latest version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). You will also need to upgrade your printer drivers to the latest versions for seamless printing.
Click on the links below to upgrade your computer.
Microsoft Service Pack Center
RDP 7.0 (scroll down towards the bottom of the page for the download)
RDP Port 3389 is required to be opened on your Firewall to connect to Cloud9.
If you do not know if your system meets the minimum system requirements, click here to download our recommended PC audit tool and email the report to Support@Cloud9RealTime.com for an analysis.
NOTE: If you are on a home network, most popular mainstream routers will be fine. However in an office environment with multiple connections coming from many computers, it is best to consider a Business Class router such as ones offered by SonicWall, which allows for a stable Internet connection and consistent traffic to travel through your network. PORT 3389 must be accessible.
Also consider removing all Firewall software from computers if you decide to go with a Business Class router, as it will only make the Internet connection slower and may prevent you from accessing necessary functions.
