How to find a good PCI Compliant Hosting Provider
There are a number of things you want to look for when searching for a PCI DSS approved hosting provider. The main thing is you want to make sure they really understand
what is required to be PCI compliant. Unfortunately there are a lot of hosts out there who will say they are PCI compliant but actually aren't. Second, depending on how IT savy you are
you want a provider who is going to give you all the help you need to make sure you not only meet all the payment card industry requirements, but one who will continually work with you
to ensure you are meeting PCI compliance down the line as well. Unfortunately when it comes to PCI Compliance, and security in general there is no such thing as "set it and forget it".
In order to find a good payment card industry certified host, you are going to want to interview them. Find out how long they have been in business, find out out many sites they are providing PCI services too, ask them some specifics on what they are doing.
Another thing to do is avoid the cheapest place, if you've heard of the phrase, you get what you pay for, that definitely holds true with security and PCI hosting as well. If you see
a host offering unlimited everything, including PCI compliance, all for under $10 you want to stay as far away from them as possible. This doesn't mean go with the most expensive place
but go with one who is familiar with your experience level and willing to help you get through the learning curve that's associated with PCI.
