Another alternative:
I'd be a bit frightened if putting all my business data on a system that
I didn't control.

How about running a local MySQL database and configuring it to replicate
on either the existing server or a 'safer' company PC. You don't need
whizzy hardware to run a web server/database and it's not difficult to
set up.

So amazingly the stores system is on http://169.255.3.3 (etc) not
www.someoddcompany/ourstores.
