$29 per site / month · $290 a year
Armor Shield
For the site that takes payments, holds client data, or would cost you real money to have down for a day. No traffic ceiling, rules written for your application, and if anything ever gets through, we clean it up free.
The difference between an annoyance and a disaster
Plainly: Shield protects the edge and cleans the origin. It does not make your application secure by itself — if you run an eight-year-old plugin with a known hole, we’ll block the attacks we can see and tell you exactly what to patch. Anyone promising more than that is selling you something.
A brochure site going down is embarrassing. A site that takes money going down, or getting compromised, is a different category of problem, and it is the category we get called about most:
01 You lose the day's trade
Every hour offline is orders you don't take and clients who buy elsewhere. Nobody budgets for it because nobody expects it.
02 You end up on a blacklist
Once Google flags your domain, every visitor sees a red interstitial. Getting removed takes days you don't have.
03 The cleanup bill arrives
Emergency incident work is expensive, and you negotiate it while your site is down. On Shield it's already paid for.

Questions people actually ask
1. Why pay $29 when Cloudflare Pro is $25?
Because Cloudflare Pro is the licence. Shield is the licence plus someone writing rules for your application, watching it, and cleaning your site — free, as often as needed — when something gets through. If you'd rather do all of that yourself, buy Pro directly; it's a good product. From ten sites, Shield drops to $25, the same as Cloudflare's own monthly price, fully managed.
2. How is this different from Armor Guard?
Guard has a traffic ceiling and our baseline rules. Shield is unmetered, has rules written for your specific application, and includes the incident work. If your site earns money, the gap between $9 and $29 is smaller than one hour of downtime.
3. What does 'cleanup included' actually cover?
If the site behind Shield is compromised, we contain it, remove the injected pages, shells and backdoors, reset the credentials, get you delisted from Google and the blacklists, and write up how they got in. No extra invoice, no cap on how often.
4. I have several sites. How does pricing work?
All your protected sites sit on the same plan, which keeps one bill and one rule set. It's $29 a site, dropping to $27 from five sites and $25 from ten. The volume rate applies automatically.
5. Do you support WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel, custom applications?
Yes. The rules are written per application, which is the point. Tell us what it runs on and we'll tune for it.
6. Can I start on Guard and upgrade later?
Yes, and plenty do. We'll tell you when your traffic says it's time, rather than waiting for you to notice.
