SiteLock
Bundled-with-hosting malware monitor — published $9.99-$59.99/mo, often distributed via shared-hosting providers.
What it does well
- Widely available as a one-click add-on through many popular shared hosting providers.
- Features automatic malware detection and removal, requiring minimal user intervention for basic threats.
- Provides a security seal badge that can be displayed on a site to signal monitoring.
Where it falls short
- Frequently criticized for aggressive upselling tactics and high-pressure sales calls after signup.
- Core malware scanning and removal features are often less effective than dedicated alternatives.
- The included CDN and WAF are basic and lack the advanced configuration of competitors.
