How much memory does your application server use today? And I assume that it is running on Windows, hence the question about the license.
yes the application is running on windows server 2008 R2, and use SQL Server for database, and the server is joined to our Domain,

i have to pay for a windows server licence or not???
Sort of. You pay a monthly fee for the server and the license is included. You don't buy a license, but the cost of the service includes the license. So in a way you pay for it, but you don't need to worry about getting a license.

but if we host this application, will it be safe and private ???
Most likely safer than it is now. It depends where you host, of course, just like it depends how well you secure it yourself. But, in general, the big enterprise hosts are the safest places anywhere. Those are the big ones like Amazon, Rackspace, Microsoft Azure, IBM / Softlayer, etc. They are extremely secure. You would get your own OS instance, so you would have full control of the server just as if it were your own.
you meant, they will provide me with a virtual OS in their server right

i didn't propose to them this idea yet, but i have a feeling that they will not accept
Is it a software vendor that you can disclose?
No we cannot disclose with this vendor since employees get familiar with the application and also we already bought the licence of multiple users, we cannot cancel anything with them,
No, disclose meaning.... can you tell us on MangoLassi who the vendor is
aaaaah sorry i though that you mean close, because i'm not an English speaker, i just studied it,
concerning the vendor, it is not a well known company, it is called TEBAS (technical business application system) located in egypt

in the future we can think about hosting our data (files) in the cloud, but what about Application server, this is the problem we cannot install our application in an outside server in the cloud,
For legal reasons?
honestly i don't know, but i think that the IT company that sold us this application will not accept to install it in an hosted server as far as i can see
in the future we can think about hosting our data (files) in the cloud, but what about Application server, this is the problem we cannot install our application in an outside server in the cloud,
but it is a good idea since home are better location for hosting these days
@scottalanmiller hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, really you make me laugh , '''''''residential datacenter''''''''''''
the remote site is located in the same city Doha, and we have 2 servers in the main office, on DC and File server, the second is an Application server, and some printers, in the remote office we don't have any server, but i'm planing to setup an additional DC in the branch office to minimize the load upon this weak link, and schedule the replication in the night between the 2 DC
why they implement this policy, because normally businesses who should have priority than homes
i suffer from this a lot, employees complain about the slow access of our remote resources (file server) in the remote office
and the worse, the maximum bandwith that you can have with this copper wire is 4 Mbs download and 0.5 Mbs upload
i'm located in doha, i'm from Morocco and i work in qatar,
the problem is having fiber optic in business is not easy, and having it in your home is easy, can you imagine that ?? me for example we have fiber optic at home but no chance in our business, i don't know why they make it that difficult for companies getting upgraded
