Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard
The PCI Data Security Standard is an industry-wide program implemented in December 2004 that incorporates the various cardholder security programs previously created by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. PCI is designed for merchants and merchant service providers (including developers) that handle, process, and/or store cardholder information. Recognizing that a merchant's security needs vary according to its size and the number of transactions it processes, the PCI Data Security Standard has been divided into separate levels of required merchant and developer compliance.

PCI Compliant Hosting
Today's economy is getting more critical than ever, and website security is a concern of most website owners. Finding an affordable PCI compliant host is not easy, and often requires you lease a custom dedicated hardware setup. When you only need hosting for one website with average bandwidth and disk space requirements - that is like paying for the whole farm when all you need is one cow! Trustworthy, responsive support is also at the forefront of customer needs.
Before going any further, if you are not already familiar with this subject, read the 12 requirements of PCI Compliancy provided by The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council, as of November 25, 2008.
For secure, reliable E-mail and website hosting, you have come to the right place. Since the industry has been requiring merchants to fulfill routine "pci compliance" security scans, as of June 2008 we have made these required configuration settings a part of our service.
Call today for a consultation and to discuss the possibility of migrating to our secure, firewall protected server, guaranteed to pass the PCI compliance scans. We will work with your company and the security agency until your site and hosting account is safe with a passing score.

Datacenter Facts
CONNECTIVITY
Our network features Gigabit Ethernet connections to ensure the servers powering your solution remain online and accessible. Physically separate conduits channel multiple Tier 1 connectivity providers into the datacenter facility to our multi-homed network. A redundant routing architecture, including hardware failover and Cisco HSRP (Hot Spare Router Protocol), is the basis of our 100% Network Uptime Guarantee.
ENVIRONMENT
Servers need a balance of the right temperature and humidity to run properly. Our datacenter is equipped with an environmental control system complete with air handlers, condensing units, and raised flooring to promote proper air flow and temperature. In addition, FM-200 gas fire suppression is in place to protect the entire facility from fire damage without costly water damage from a sprinkler system discharge.
POWER
Our power systems operate seamlessly to provide constant power to maintain 100% uptime. New server solutions are deployed in our facility featuring fully N+1 redundant systems; a UPS (uninterruptible power supply), battery backups, and diesel generators. All of our power systems are fully maintained by vendors with factory certified technicians to ensure an instantaneous failover in the event of a power outage.
ONSITE SECURITY
We uphold our security measures to rigorous standards. Proximity card entry, camera-recorded server room access, and a perimeter security system all protect our main and datacenter facilities. These security components ensure only our certified Server Engineers have direct access to the datacenter and individual servers. This restricted access ensures maximum security when maintaining, upgrading, and troubleshooting servers right in the racks.
Summary:
- Multiple Tier 1 Gigabit Ethernet Connections
- Diverse Fiber Conduits for Physical Redundancy
- Redundant Cisco Routers and Carrier-class Juniper Firewalls
- N+1 Redundant Liebert Environmental Control Systems
- FM-200 Gas Fire Suppression Systems
- Raised Flooring Controls Air Flow for Steady Temperature
- Parallel Redundant Liebert UPS System
- N+1 Redundant Diesel Backup Power Generation
- Restricted Keycard Access to Datacenter
- Video Surveillance Fully Monitors Access Points
- Monitored by 24x7x365 Onsite Server Engineers
