100% PCI DSS compliant hosting

If your website handles credit card transactions, you'll likely need to be PCI DSS compliant and process payments in a secure hosting environment. All Krystal business hosting plans run on PCI-scan compliant servers, so you can take payments on your website following PCI Security Standards Council guidelines.

PCI compliance levels

There are four levels of PCI DSS compliance. They depend on how many credit card transactions you complete annually and how you handle them.

1

Compliance Level 1

Merchants that process over 6,000,000 Visa or MasterCard e-commerce transactions annually, or any merchant that has experienced a data breach where sensitive information was compromised on the server.

2

Compliance Level 2

Merchants that process between 1,000,000 and 6,000,000 Visa or MasterCard e-commerce transactions annually.

3

Compliance Level 3

Merchants that process between 20,000 and 1,000,000 Visa or MasterCard e-commerce transactions annually.

4

Compliance Level 4

Merchants that process fewer than 20,000 Visa or MasterCard e-commerce transactions annually.

    Always great service from these guys. Their support is top-notch and you’re never waiting long for a response or a resolution. Same day responses, often within minutes, makes them a very reliable partner for business website hosting.

  • The gold standard in UK web hosting

    Over the past 5 years, their service has been nothing short of stellar. What really stands out, besides their unwavering tech support, is their commitment to being at the forefront of technology while holding strong to their eco principles.

  • The best in the business, by far!

    I wish all hosting companies had the same level of service and care that Krystal do. Their systems work flawlessly and the odd occasion that there’s an issue they are always super responsive and extremely helpful.

  • Well worth the money!

    I’ve been with Krystal since 2015, and have always been very impressed by the quality of their technical support. I’ve just had a problem with my email system, which they tracked down in a few hours, and at no extra charge, to an obscure fault in my Thunderbird email software.
