Anyone have a shared server that has passed a PCI compliance scan? If so, please post the company. I'm using Hostmysite.com and they refuse to try.

It is against forum policy to post recommendations. It wouldn't matter anyway since scans will always show up problems sooner or later since new security holes are always being found. What you need to find is a host that will address those problems. Many, if not most, will do that. Some charge for it - some don't.

Would it be okay for someone to post what hosting company they use? The reason I'm asking is that some hosting companies state you can't get shared hosting to be PCI compliant, but some forum members have stated their shared servers are.

No, that's against the rules. I can't imagine why a hosting company would say a shared server couldn't be PCI compliant since it is certainly possible. I tried PM'ing you but your account will not allow it for some reason.

I had to respond to an activation message. Personal Messaging to me should be working now. Thanks.

Moved to a new hosting company a year ago in order to be pci compliant on shared server. Now I find out they are not compliant. Upset, but what to do now?

Have you tried asking them to fix the problems? If so, and they refuse, then you need to find a new host since you can't make them do it.
