PCI-Compliant Hosting Solutions

The better goal is to host the application in a PCI-ready environment that supports your PCI DSS requirements. That usually means segmented infrastructure, managed firewalls, controlled access, encryption, logging, vulnerability scanning, and a deployment design that keeps the cardholder data environment as small and controlled as possible.

Yes. Atlantic.Net offers fully managed PCI hosting environments with security controls including firewalls, intrusion detection, encrypted storage, and vulnerability scanning.

Atlantic.Net can support your PCI audit process by providing PCI-ready infrastructure, security controls, and supporting documentation. It should be treated as audit support, not as a replacement for your own compliance team, assessor, or required PCI validation process.

Start by reducing PCI scope wherever possible, then build a properly segmented, secure cardholder data environment. In practice, that means controlling access, protecting stored and transmitted data, logging system activity, scanning for vulnerabilities, and keeping the environment aligned with the PCI DSS requirements that apply to your business.

That depends on the size and complexity of your payment environment. Dedicated servers and private cloud environments are often the best fit when you need stronger isolation, more control, and a simpler path to securing a cardholder data environment. PCI-ready cloud hosting can also work well for smaller or growing businesses when it is designed and managed correctly.

Yes. Atlantic.Net offers PCI-ready cloud and infrastructure options that can work well for startups that need secure payment hosting without building a full compliance-oriented environment from scratch.

Look for network segmentation, managed firewalls, intrusion detection, encrypted storage, encrypted backups, multi-factor authentication, vulnerability scanning, centralized logging, and access to documentation that supports your PCI assessment process.

Look for a provider with published uptime commitments, strong security controls, clear compliance documentation, 24/7 support, and experience supporting regulated environments. You want a provider that can support both the technical side of PCI and the operational discipline needed to maintain it.

Yes. Atlantic.Net offers PCI-ready hosting environments designed to secure payment-related data with managed security controls, encryption, and segmented infrastructure. Your application design, access policies, and compliance processes still need to be handled correctly on your side.
