A 100% PCI Compliant Hosting Environment

Our Magento Hosting plans provide a fully PCI compliant hosting environment for our clients' Magento-based websites.

The PCI compliance standards are an open standard covering the best security practices for websites. PCI compliance is particularly important for eCommerce sites and other sites that store confidential data. Full information on the PCI compliance requirements is available on the official PCI compliance site.
