I don't know of any genealogy programs that are stored on a server. Those who offer web space, such as Ancestry and other "tree" pages, have definite problems, mainly the lack of flexibility you get with desktop programs. Searches, reports, sorts, etc are quite limited.
And.... when you decide you need something that's more "powerful", the gedcoms created from those websites are not very good. We've seen some horrendous issues with them - we deal with them most every day. A good desktop program with storage of your data on a cloud service such as Dropbox works great. If you have a laptop (and most people have desktop and laptop these days) you can install Legacy on both computers (yes, you can use your customer number to unlock the Deluxe features on more than one computer), or other mobile device and use with Families 2.0, you can work on your data anywhere! You don't even need an internet connection, which you would need if you're working with a cloud based program. Just work on the file that's in Dropbox on the computer you're using and then when you get connected, it'll automatically sync to the web and back to your other computer. Families 2.0 uses a sync program on the desktop to convert the Legacy file to an iOS or Android format and then you can convert it back to your Legacy file.
