VistoShield Partner Program: Add Security as a Revenue Stream
Learn how hosting companies, web agencies, and MSPs can generate recurring revenue by reselling VistoShield security with volume discounts up to 60%.
If you manage WordPress sites for clients — whether you're a hosting provider, web agency, managed service provider, or freelance developer — website security is something your clients need but rarely think about until it's too late. The VistoShield Partner Program lets you offer enterprise-grade security as a value-added service, generating recurring revenue while protecting your clients.
This guide covers how the program works, who it's for, and how to get started.
Why Offer Security as a Service?
The numbers tell the story:
- 30,000+ WordPress sites are hacked every day according to Sucuri's annual report.
- 83% of hacked CMS sites run WordPress, making it the #1 target.
- Clients whose sites get hacked blame their hosting provider or agency — not the attacker.
- Security is a recurring need, not a one-time purchase, making it ideal for subscription revenue.
By bundling VistoShield with your services, you transform a cost center (incident cleanup) into a profit center (proactive protection). Your clients get peace of mind, and you get a new revenue stream.
How the Partner Program Works
1. Apply & Get Approved
Visit vistoshield.com/partners and fill out the application form. We review applications within 24-48 hours. We look for hosting companies, agencies, and MSPs who manage 10+ WordPress sites.
2. Purchase Bulk Licenses
Once approved, you can purchase licenses in bulk with significant volume discounts:
| License Volume | Pro Price/Site/Year | Max Price/Site/Year | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-99 sites | $89.00 | $169.00 | Standard |
| 100-249 sites | $53.40 | $101.40 | 40% off |
| 250-499 sites | $44.50 | $84.50 | 50% off |
| 500+ sites | $35.60 | $67.60 | 60% off |
At 500+ sites with Pro licenses, you pay just $35.60/site/year — and can resell at any price you choose. Many partners charge $10-15/month per site, creating a 3-5x margin.
3. Assign Licenses to Clients
From your Partner Dashboard, assign licenses to client email addresses. They receive an invitation email, install the VistoShield plugin, and they're protected — no billing setup needed on their end. You handle the billing relationship.
4. Manage Everything Centrally
The Partner Dashboard gives you full visibility: which licenses are assigned, to whom, site status, and usage analytics. You can revoke licenses, reassign them, and track your revenue.
Who Is This For?
Hosting Providers
Add security as a premium tier feature. "Managed WordPress Hosting with VistoShield Protection" commands a higher price point than basic hosting. Your support tickets for hacked sites drop dramatically.
Web Agencies
Include security in your maintenance retainers. Instead of reactive "your site got hacked" calls, offer proactive monitoring with uptime checks, reputation monitoring, and automated incident response.
Managed Service Providers
MSPs managing IT infrastructure can add WordPress security to their stack. The API integration allows you to automate license management from your existing tools.
Freelance Developers
Even with 10-20 client sites, the partner program makes sense. The volume discount at 100 licenses means you're paying significantly less than retail, and your clients see you as their security expert.
Enterprise Features
Enterprise-tier partners (500+ licenses) get additional features:
- White-label branding: Replace the VistoShield brand with your own in client dashboards and reports.
- Partner API: Full REST API for license management, enabling integration with your billing system, CRM, or control panel.
- Priority support: Direct access to our engineering team.
- Custom onboarding: We help you set up white-label assets and integration workflows.
What Your Clients Get
Every VistoShield license includes all 14 security modules:
- Firewall & WAF — block attacks before they reach WordPress
- Security Scanner — automated malware and vulnerability detection
- Login Guard — brute force protection with lockout policies
- Bot Detector — behavioral analysis blocks bad bots
- Activity Log — full audit trail of all site changes
- DNS Monitor — track DNS and SSL certificate changes
