What is a remotely hosted
application?
A remotely hosted application is an application
that is hosted on a server other that your own. A
remotely hosted application should have the look and
feel of your own web site and most users won't
even know they have been moved to a different
server. Upon termination of the application, the
user is returned to the originating web site.
Why
would I want to utilize a remotely hosted
application?
Remotely hosted applications can be difficult to
install and maintain. They often require recources
(both human and technical) that can be expensive to
train and purchase. They often require server
capabilities that may not be available with your
current hosting service. By utilizing remotely
hosted applications you can:
-
Save time by having applications installed by
experts trained and experienced in complex
installations.
-
Reduce cost by having the application
installed quickly and correctly the first time
without the burden of hiring resouces to do
thejob on site.
-
Increase the capablilites of our web site
without the cost, time and expense of moving
your entire site to new server.
