PCI DSS Compliance - hosting choice

[Jurist]

Hello,

I've been running successful prestashop 1.6.0 store since March of this year using tsohost as a server but it has grown so much that we're thinking about better offer or even VPS. We have about 300 unique visits and 10 high value orders daily, growing very fast. Linux VPS £70 is what we definitely can afford.

 

Can you please recommend any host for us? We'd like to increase loading speed of our site, so we have better SEO score. 

 

Also, we recently received information from PayPal that we have to be compliant with PCI DSS. Can somebody please explain how to do this? We process credit card payments online through our site. Is this third party service or part of hosting service?

 

I was looking for some benchmark but couldn't find any. 

Will appreciate any answer.

 

Kind regards
