Hi There, I would look at Windows Azure, you will be able to run a server in the cloud to host as a remote desktop server, to access your quickbooks and access databases from any PC. you will also be able to host your website on here, i believe Microsoft offer NFP pricing on Azure too. If you want to discuss, give me a call on 1300 016 197. Thanks!

Quickbooks now offer hosted solutions for a pretty reasonable price. http://www.intuit.com.au/quickbooks-online/small-business-accounting-software-compare.jsp Having a hosted server can sometimes be pricey. I would suggest re-writing the access database to a proper web format (mysql) and incorporating it with your website. I provide web development services and hosting so if if you want to discuss, give me a call on 1300 899 946. Thanks

Hi Warrandyte Tennis Club, Website hosting is coming down in price all the time and with advances in open source website CMS (Content Management System) packages you could incorporate all your club workings within your website. Hosting can be as little as approx $50 per year with some hosting service providers. Just remember you get what you pay for but with some help from someone who is reasonably web savvy, you can manage it all yourself. I'm involved in several clubs and manage memberships, invoicing, email communications, and finance reports all from the website. My personal preference is for Joomla! CMS and Wordpress (I noticed your site is using) can be converted reasonably easily. Give me a call or email if you wish to discuss further. Glenn glenn@glennarkell.com.au 04 1938 4275

Hi, I'd start by looking at your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They normally provide a free website for their subscribers. You could move your website and point your domain name at the new site. Membership systems are a bit different. You can have a "hosted" PC or Server where you run your Access membership and even QuickBooks on that hosted machine (like the Azure suggestions), or you can subscribe to a member system like Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online (available through ConnectingUp) or hosted iMIS 100. QuickBooks can be put in the cloud, but I'm not certain if the Australian version of QuickBooks is available there. I know MYOB offer a cloud based services and this may also be offered at a discount through ConnectingUp. Back to hosted PC's/Servers. These are available from some ISP's as well as a lot of general service providers (rackspace.com is one that comes to mind). Hope this helps. Graham Hill, Metisc, Ph 1300 792 700
