If you transmit payment data <em>on your servers<\/em>, your web host must be PCI compliant because it is indirectly involved in processing payment data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You and your web host must meet <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Security_Standard#Requirements\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Wikipedia page covering the PCI data security standards (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noopener\">12 core requirements<\/a> including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using systems and networks that are up to date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a vulnerability management program in place to deal with threats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exercising strict access control to prevent any unauthorized entry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining a security policy that is reviewed regularly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses that need to become PCI compliant are typically <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-ecommerce-platforms\/\">ecommerce stores<\/a> or any type of website that accepts and processes credit card payments <em>on their server<\/em>. If you use <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-wordpress\/\">WordPress<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-woocommerce-101\/\">WooCommerce<\/a> for your ecommerce needs, note that although these platforms follow the highest security standards, they&rsquo;re not technically PCI compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can use third-party payment services such as PayPal or Stripe, which take care of credit card payments on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e2e2e2;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fcfcfc;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>&#9888;&#65039; <strong>Important note<\/strong>: If you&rsquo;re <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-woocommerce\/\">running a WooCommerce store with WordPress<\/a>, the best way to achieve PCI compliance is to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-payment-gateway-for-woocommerce\/\">use a third-party payment gateway<\/a> such as PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.net, etc. These <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-woocommerce-payments\/\">payment gateways are easy to setup with WooCommerce<\/a> and handle processing credit card information for you, which takes the responsibility off of your shoulders.<br><br>For example, if you use the Stripe gateway, Stripe has a feature called <a aria-label=\"Information on Stripe Elements for secure payment processing (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/stripe.com\/payments\/elements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stripe Elements<\/a> that transmits all credit card information on Stripe&rsquo;s servers, without it ever passing through your WooCommerce store&rsquo;s servers.

it. Krystal is an independent UK-based hosting provider that offers some an attractive set of business plans &ndash; all of which are fully PCI DSS compliant. It&rsquo;s also a proud green web host and powers their business with renewable electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krystal has three of the aforementioned business plans and all of them come with features that any online business will appreciate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlimited sites hosted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited NVMe storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited mailboxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited bandwidth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free SSL certificates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free domain for the lifetime of your plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backups every four hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DDoS protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone support for all plans during regular business hours, with the two higher plans offering 24\/7 emergency tech support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The lowest tier is called the <strong>Emerald<\/strong> plan and it costs $21.60 per month on a two-year contract. All plans include a 60-day money back guarantee. Month-to-month billing and one-year contracts are also available but cost more. By default, the prices are shown in British Pounds. If you want to see them in USD, scroll to the bottom and look on the left of the page for a UK \/ US toggle button.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krystalhosting.com\/hosting\/business\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#ff7f66;border-color:#cc6652;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#ffa694;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> Go to Krystal<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion &#127937;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PCI compliance is of utmost importance if your business deals with credit card data. Choosing the right web hosting company might not automatically make you compliant. Still, it&rsquo;s a crucial step if you want to ensure that you meet the industry&rsquo;s security standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&rsquo;ve selected seven of the best PCI compliant web hosting companies that suit a variety of budgets. You can become compliant with any of these providers if you fulfill all PCI requirements. However, we find <a aria-label=\"Liquid Web (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/liquid-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Liquid Web<\/a> goes one step further by offering quarterly PCI scans and custom-made solutions. Alternatively, for simpler solutions, you might want to choose <a aria-label=\"Bluehost homepage (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bluehost<\/a> which has always been a nice budget option in the hosting world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/liquid-web\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#ff7f66;border-color:#cc6652;border-radius:8px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 22px;font-size:17px;line-height:34px;border-color:#ffa694;border-radius:8px;text-shadow:none\"> Go to Liquid Web<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#ff7f66;border-color:#cc6652;border-radius:8px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 22px;font-size:17px;line-height:34px;border-color:#ffa694;border-radius:8px;text-shadow:none\"> Go to Bluehost<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spacer no-phone\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you&rsquo;re using WooCommerce, a better solution is usually to integrate with a third-party payment gateway that can take care of PCI compliance for you. That way, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about doing things yourself. In that case, you might want to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-woocommerce-hosting\/\">our list of the best WooCommerce hosting instead<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, another option would be to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/shopify-tutorial\/\">use Shopify<\/a>, which handles PCI compliance for you.
