What can be termed as the best hosting practices?
Best hosting practices criteria to moderate:
Many things must be taken into the consideration prior to decide to go for the programs available for use. There are lots of problems with the current Mac and other Linux based services: difficulty in transferring to your back-up and copy, the interface is different (like the 1999 version of the pc version), online banking is not at the same level, and it doesn't have networking (multi-users). The 2009 version is due out in October and is supposed to have better online banking and the navigators are supposed to be similar to the pc version. Networking has not been addressed. So, depending on what you need, the 2009 version my satisfy your needs.
Other packages like MyOB may be more than good as an alternative. They works exactly the same on PC and Mac, but there is a learning curve when moving from one package to the other. It should be able to handle what you need. The biggest frustration I find in some packages is the reporting is a lot more "locked down" than in QuickBooks.
If you love the pc product, you can always run it through Parallels or use a companies services to host the windows version. Depending on the size of your company and how much you want to spend, online programs may be a good way to go too. Net Suite or NetBooks might be good options for you as well.
Now that the world is getting confined into the iPad/iPhone and other technologies and the technology getting degraded quickly with the evolving new ones in this competitive market situation, you need to to make an immediate decision on the practices to use. These are only a glimpses of what/how a hosting practices can be helpful in!
