Another good question from admin regarding Email Hosting

Hostgator

I currently have a standard shared hosting plan with HostGator but am planning on upgrading to a VPS Hosting plan ($39.95 plan with $10 extra for cPanel). Someday I may go as far as dedicated hosting but not yet. With an increase in website traffic and emails I need this. The issue is PCI Compliance: I have been told by my bank that they are PCI Compliant, by my gateway, authorize.net, that they are PCI Compliant. Also, I use CRE Loaded 6.4B2B and am told that’s PCI Compliant. I don’t store any credit card numbers on my website. The only piece I’m not understanding is my hosting. I have heard you need dedicated hosting to be PCI Compliant. Then I have heard VPS is, is not. I have heard often that standard shared hosting is not PCI Compliant but also at the same time have heard it is.
