Hello Codecall,

I've been recently researching on how to make the checkout process for an E-commerce web site PCI compliant, and I have a few questions that I'm not sure about.

At the moment, it looks like I will not be looking to maintain my own servers.

So is it possible to use a shared web hosting server and still maintain a PCI compliant checkout?

Is the only option to use a dedicated web server hosting to have PCI compliance?

From what I've been reading, much of the PCI compliant requirements seem to emphasize how accessibility to the server is maintained, and in addition to this making sure that the database server and the web server are on two different servers.

So I guess my next question is, what are some things that I as a programmer would have to worry about in my client and server side code as it pertains to PCI compliance?

Any help in the right direction is much appreciated.
Thanks!
