Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Compliance
VPS and dedicated servers are configured by default to be PCI Compliant, but be aware that changes made to your dedicated server or VPS may affect your PCI Compliance.
When you accept credit cards online through a merchant account, some of the details of PCI compliance are handled by your web host (HostGator), some are handled by your merchant account provider (payment processor), and some aspects are handled by you (the merchant).
HostGator handles all of the server related PCI Compliance requirements.
