Sucuri

Sucuri (sucuri.net) is a website-security service that has been part of GoDaddy since 2017 and focuses on protecting CMS-based sites — mainly WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Drupal, and custom PHP stacks. The paid products bundle four things: a cloud-based Web Application Firewall and CDN that filters traffic before it hits the origin server, daily server-side and remote malware scanning with blacklist monitoring (Google Safe Browsing, McAfee, Norton, Yandex), unlimited manual hack cleanup performed by Sucuri's in-house incident response team, and post-hack hardening with security recommendations for the admin and file system. Plans run from the Basic Platform (USD 199.99 / year) through Pro and Business (USD 499.99 / year), plus a Firewall-only tier starting around USD 9.99 / month and an Agency plan for agencies managing multiple client sites.

The typical Sucuri customer is a small business, e-commerce store, publisher, or agency with a WordPress or similar CMS site that is a common target for drive-by malware, credit-card skimmers, and SEO spam injections. Because the cleanup service is unlimited and included in the subscription, Sucuri works as effectively a site-security insurance product as well as a proactive firewall. It competes with Wordfence, Patchstack, and MalCare on the WordPress side and with Cloudflare WAF and Imperva on the pure edge-WAF side. The brand is well known among WordPress site owners thanks to the free Sucuri SiteCheck external scanner and the active research output on blog.sucuri.net, which is the main content hook affiliates can link to when introducing the product.

Sucuri runs its publisher affiliate program through CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) rather than an in-house portal — applicants land on sucuri.net/referral/ and click through to a CJ insertion order, then after CJ and Sucuri approve the account they get banners, text links, and deeplinks inside the CJ dashboard. The headline payout is 25% commission on the net collected for the referred customer's initial purchase, which works out to roughly USD 29 on a Basic plan and up to around USD 210 on a Business subscription, plus a flat USD 100 bounty on each Agency plan signup. The click-to-signup cookie is 30 days.

Commission validates once the referred customer has remained subscribed to the Sucuri Platform or Firewall for 65 days past the end of the sale month — a longer hold than most affiliate programs use but one that protects Sucuri against chargebacks and canceled cleanups. After the hold clears, payouts go out via PayPal to the email on file, with no published minimum threshold. Exclusions match the standard CJ contract: self-referrals, incentivized traffic, unapproved coupon-site traffic, and refunded or charged-back orders do not pay. Only the initial sale and new agency referrals pay; renewals are not commissioned.
