PCI/DSS Compliance in the hosting industry
Date:	February 16, 2010
Description:	The PCI Security Council has set a compliance deadline of July 2010 for everyone who processes or handles payment information online. That can include web hosting companies who provide customers with ecommerce services. But it can also include web hosting companies who accept their customers’ payments online. We invite a panel of payment application developers and hosting providers to answer pressing questions about compliance. What is required of hosting providers? What criteria are most difficult to achieve? What should resellers be concerned about? Are there problems with virtualization and compliance? Where is there confusion and room for interpretation?
