That's a hard no from me. If Moho ever goes cloud based I will not use Moho anymore.
Why is it difficult? Is it because of network issues? Or do you also think [Cloud] is expensive? Or what about other reasons? please tell me.
1) I do not support having to pay a monthly fee to use the software. I want to pay once and use it for as long I want to. Whether or not it's expensive, a monthly fee is always another expense. If you lose your job, or hit a financial crisis and you have to cancel, then you no longer have access to the software.
2) I do not want to rely on internet to use the software either

Maybe part of the reason some of us US users wouldn't like it is our gosh darn slow internet in this part if the world. On a good day in rural VT we get 40-50Mbps down and about 10 up. And if we have a few users on the network it slows down accordingly. Ours is cell-based, too, so if it rains, we sometimes lose internet for an hour. American exceptionalism. : )
Fiber is coming... in a few years. : )
But really, I just like owning a copy. I'm that way with music, too. I don't pay for music streaming services - I have an ever growing music library of my own copies of things. I do stream some movie channels, but I haven't thrown away any of my animation DVDs. Sometimes it rains! (see above).

certainty. We all love certainty. And I have to find a balance between [efficiency], [determinism], and [scalability]. (Of course I like to store movies and music on my hard drive = 3)
