BENEFITS

Microsoft Office Hosting: Benefits of running Office or Microsoft 365* on a Hosted Desktop

    • Run any version of Office by using our Service Provider Licence Agreement (SPLA) Office licence, you’re not tied to only the latest versions. This can be crucial if you want to run legacy applications in the cloud that only integrate with earlier versions of Office.
    • Always run the full desktop version of Office regardless of what device you’re using to connect. Runs on Windows, Apple Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android.
    • Integrate Office Hosting or Microsoft 365 Hosting* with any business application and run them all on the hosted desktop.
    • Microsoft 365 hosting or Office 365 hosting allows you to combine the features of Microsoft 365* or Office 365 with the flexibility and scalability of hosted desktops.
    • Open documents instantly from fast networked storage on the remote desktop platform, or connect to your online SharePoint or OneDrive cloud storage using the OneDrive for Business Client.
    • Rent standard Office month by month with no 12 month contractual tie-in. Just requires a standard internet connection, no need for complex networks or VPNs

Microsoft Office Hosting FAQs

 

What is Microsoft 365? How is it different from Microsoft Office?

Microsoft Office has been around a long time and is used the world over in businesses, schools, universities and homes.  It is a suite of applications to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, and to manage business emails.   Traditionally individuals would have either purchased a one off “perpetual” licence for Office e.g. Office 2019, or purchased a volume licence where they have a large number of users in a business.  Sometimes paying extra for Software Assurance so that they can upgrade to new versions.

Microsoft 365 is a combination of a subscription method of paying for Office application licences, as well as some additional products and services such as OneDrive online storage, a professional email address and Exchange email hosting with spam filtering, SharePoint for sharing documents (another form of cloud storage) and other services like Microsoft Teams.

There are many different Microsoft 365 plans to fit the needs of different businesses, charities, educational establishments or for personal and family use.

Is Office 365 going away?

No, Microsoft 365 is currently one of Microsoft’s flagship services and is also heavily integrated with the Azure cloud hosting, their other flagship service.

 

Does Office 365 include Web hosting?

No, Microsoft 365 or Office 365 does not include web hosting. i.e. a service to host your company public facing web site.

Most Microsoft 365 plans do include SharePoint which is a private (to your company) web site to collaborate on documents, news, and other features, and includes 1TB of cloud storage.

Can I switch to other Office 365 plans?

Yes, once you are subscribed to an Office 365 plan you can usually switch to other plans that better suit your business. If you buy your subscription through Your Office Anywhere then we can help change your subscriptions so that you are not tied to a specific plan for 12 months. You can increase and decrease user licences as you need to. You are only committed to having 1 licence for “something” for 12 months.

 

Does Office 365 have Remote Desktop?

Remote desktops are not something that is included in Office 365 plans (aka Microsoft 365). However, companies with enterprise plans of Microsoft 365 can use those licences on remote desktop hosting services.

Some hosted remote desktop providers are certified to host Microsoft 365 Office applications on their servers. Your Office Anywhere are one of a relatively small number of UK providers who can legally provide Microsoft 365 Hosting on their remote desktops.
