What is FileMaker Cloud Hosting?
FileMaker cloud hosting allows your database to run on a professionally managed server instead of a computer in your office.
Your team can securely access the same live system from anywhere using:
FileMaker Pro
FileMaker Go
FileMaker WebDirect
Windows
macOS
iPhone
iPad
Web browser
Whether your staff are working in the office, from home or on the road, everyone has access to the latest information in real time.
Why Move Your FileMaker System to the Cloud?
Many businesses begin with a FileMaker Server running in their office.
As their business grows, that often creates new challenges:
Server maintenance
Hardware failures
Remote access
Security updates
Backup management
Internet reliability
Moving your FileMaker system to our managed cloud hosting removes these concerns while providing a faster, more secure and more reliable environment.
