I have an e-commerce store and want to be PCI-DSS compliant. Can I use Premium Shared Hosting?

If your payment gateway is offsite (that is, your customer goes to a payment vendor website such as Sagepay, Worldpay or PayPal to make their final payment) our Premium Shared Hosting will be fine. If you have an onsite payment gateway (where you take payments on a page on your website using Sagepay Go Direct or similar) then you will need your own Virtual Private Server to satisfy the requirements of the PCI-DSS standard. Contact us and we’ll be happy to advise.
