Common questions about on-premise vs. cloud hosting costs.
Our calculator uses industry-standard costs based on research across thousands of accounting firms. While individual costs may vary based on your specific needs, location, and software requirements, our default values provide a solid baseline for comparison. We recommend entering your own costs where possible for the most accurate estimate.
See our pricing detailsThere are no hidden fees for support or maintenance.
If you have a valid license, we can almost certainly host it. The only exception is ATX, which cannot be hosted due to vendor restrictions.
Additionally, your data is protected against local disasters, theft, and hardware failures.
Modern internet connections are highly reliable, and most firms already depend on internet for email, banking, and cloud applications. VeritSpace works with any stable internet connection, and we recommend having a backup option (like mobile hotspot) for mission-critical work. Our 100% uptime guarantee means you'll experience less downtime than typical on-premise servers.
