Managed dedicated server pricing
How many servers do I need?
Ask 10 different QSA's, and you will get 10 different answers. Our recommendation is 2 servers. One for your database and one for everything else. Some QSA will state that your database server is OK to run on your application server, so long as access is removed from the DMZ. We believe our single server solutions meet this requirement, however if you are looking to err on the safe side, we recommend 2 standalone servers.

Why do I need a Dedicated Server?
PCI still remains a gray area. Recent "standards" state that all merchants must comply, regardless of how many dollars they process per month. It is important to know that that PCI standards say that a dedicated server is required to accept payment via credit card due to the nature of access controls and the inability to effectively manage users in a shared hosting environment. PCI states that a machine that holds, transmits, or stores sensitive data must be owned by a single entity, and that entity must only grant access to sensitive cardholder data on a "need to know" basis.
We feel that the above requirements are impossible on a shared hosting platform, and this is why we only offer PCI Compliance on a dedicated machine. If you see a host offering PCI compliance on a shared machine we strongly suggest reviewing the current PCI standards.
So tell me again what I get?
Our industry-leading Managed PCI service comes with unlimited support, and our unconditional guarantee states that you will not only pass the preliminary PCI compliance scan, but will pass all required subsequent PCI scans as long as you host with GlowHost. PCI changes daily, and PCI requires that your server is always up to date. GlowHost will make sure you are in compliance at all times.

We also ensure that you will pass your quarterly self-evaluation. so long as you host with GlowHost.com, and purchase the PCI service.*
*You are responsible to notify GlowHost if a vulnerability is found on your server. Upon your notification, GlowHost will patch or update your server to meet PCI compliance. GlowHost will assist merchants level 2-4 if it is deemed that PCI validation is required from a certified PCI QSA. Merchant is responsible for assessing their own internal policies, employee procedures, security practices, application controls, and analysis of their own PCI compliance, these are factors that GlowHost cannot directly be responsible for, or control due to our level of involvement with your business policies. In other words, we do not work in your offices, so you will need to make sure that your physical location is secure! We will handle the servers and facility for you.
The bottom line is if you require PCI compliance, GlowHost will make sure you pass.
