Hosting controls and your PCI DSS responsibilities

These plans are the hosting environment: the platform, ports closed by default, and the one-click WordPress hardening plugin. The platform is described here as ISO and Cyber Essentials compliant. Your duties as the merchant stay with you. That includes how card data is collected, which payment provider stores it, and the rest of your PCI DSS scope. Buying this hosting does not complete that work.

Built for compliance-minded teams

Our PCI hosting tier runs on an ISO and Cyber Essentials compliant platform with unnecessary ports closed, reducing the attack surface before your application even starts. Ideal when auditors, payment providers, or customers ask how your hosting environment is locked down.

For WordPress sites, a one-click compliance and hardening plugin is available to apply security baselines quickly - so you spend less time chasing configuration checklists and more time shipping safely. Tell us about your scope and we will recommend a sensible fit.

Typical use cases

Ecommerce & checkout

WooCommerce and payment-adjacent sites that need a hardened host story for PCI-related discussions.

Supplier & audit questionnaires

When customers ask about ISO, Cyber Essentials, closed ports, and application hardening - you have concrete answers.

WordPress under scrutiny

Sites that benefit from a one-click compliance and hardening plugin alongside a locked-down hosting stack.

PCI hosting - what is different?

These plans are built for payment-handling and regulated workloads where platform posture matters as much as performance: certified controls, tighter network exposure, and WordPress hardening you can switch on in one click.

  • Ports closed by default to reduce unnecessary exposure
  • One-click WordPress compliance and hardening plugin

Why teams choose PCI hosting

When card data, checkout flows, or supplier questionnaires are in play, you need hosting that can evidence security posture - not just promise “secure servers”.

ISO & Cyber Essentials

Hosted on a platform aligned with ISO and Cyber Essentials controls, so you can point stakeholders at a clearer compliance story.

Ports closed by default

Unnecessary services stay shut. A tighter network surface helps reduce risk for ecommerce and payment-adjacent sites.

One-click WordPress hardening

Install our compliance and hardening plugin in one click to apply WordPress security baselines without a manual checklist marathon.

Launch with a stronger security baseline

Moving a payment-handling or compliance-sensitive site needs more than a file copy. We help you land on a locked-down stack - closed ports, certified platform controls, and WordPress hardening ready to enable.

  • Platform posture - ISO and Cyber Essentials compliant environment with ports closed
  • WordPress hardening - one-click compliance and hardening plugin available on go-live
  • Post-launch checks - SSL, backups, monitoring, and security baselines confirmed
