Default Re: Does X-Payments have to live on a separate server?

Totally agree with Steve about all sites being susceptible to hacking. There is always someone out there that can break in no matter what you do. Look at Sony.

The point of being compliant is to do everything you are required to in order to not get fined if/when a breach occurs. From what I have read, virtual private servers are considered safe by the council, but I don't know there exact definitions in those regards. Typical shared hosting is probably not sufficient. VPS or dedicated servers are required in my opinion.
