Many people trying to choose a quickbooks hosting provider often don't pay attention to weather a provider utilizes Citrix or Terminal services. We believe that's because most of the CPA's or small businesses that contact us aren't super tech savvy.

Citrix tends to be a bit more than TS, but there is a pretty quality difference between the two. For one, its more efficient, up to 3-4 times more efficient. TS's tend to not work on low connection speeds (such as a dial up). Terminal services only work on Windows, while Citrix can work on a variety of operating systems (including Windows, MAC, Linux, Java, Unix, IBM OS/2 and DOS Clients). And, graphics are clearer on Citrix.

Even logging in and setting up Quickbooks Hosting tends to be easier with Citrix. It can sit right on your desktop, while TS's require a few clicks to access your data.

For the small price difference (on average $10 more a month), you should probably opt for a Citrix Quickbooks Hosting provider if your time is valuable.
