Refer a Friend: 10% Off Managed WAF for Both of You
Looking for a WAF referral discount that actually lands on both invoices? ProtectMyWebsite’s refer a friend managed WAF offer is simple: when someone you invite completes Checkout, both of you get 10% off for 3 months. This guide covers how the ProtectMyWebsite referral code works, where to find your link, how a friend signs up with a ref code, and what the discount does — and does not — change about self-serve pricing.
The offer in one line
Refer-a-friend: both sides get 10% off for 3 months after the referred friend completes Checkout.
That is the live offer. It is not a permanent list-price cut, and it is not the old founder-era 50% promo. If you see older “founding” language elsewhere, treat this page as the current rule: 10% × 3 months, both sides, triggered by a completed Checkout.
Self-serve stays $150/site/month (or $1,650/year on pricing) before the referral discount. A 14-day trial still starts at Checkout; cancel before it ends and you are not charged. Multi-site / Campus Estate footprints are Talk to sales — we do not publish Estate dollar amounts here.
Who this is for
Refer a friend managed WAF is built for people who already trust the product enough to recommend it:
Agencies protecting client sites who want a clean WAF referral discount for both shops. Campus or public-sector peers comparing notes on managed edge protection. Operators who finished Managed WAF setup and want a colleague on the same count → promote model. Anyone evaluating whether managed beats DIY — start with DIY WAF vs managed and Managed WAF pricing: is $150/site worth it?
You do not need a partner contract to share a referral. Larger partner or volume arrangements remain a separate Talk to sales conversation.
Where to find your referral link
Once you have an account, open Account → Referral — path: /dashboard/account#referral.
There you get your shareable referral link, your ProtectMyWebsite referral code (use this when someone prefers typing a code at signup), and status on referrals that have converted (friend completed Checkout).
Copy the link, paste it in Slack, email, or a client note. When they land on signup with your ref attached, Checkout attributes the conversion to you.
No account yet? Create one at signup, finish onboarding for your site, then return to /dashboard/account#referral. A free passive scan can grade a domain before DNS if your friend wants a look first.
How signup with a referral code works
1. You share your link or code from /dashboard/account#referral.
2. Your friend signs up at signup — via your link, or by entering the ProtectMyWebsite referral code when prompted.
3. They complete Checkout for a self-serve site (trial starts; $150/site/month list after trial unless annual).
4. Both sides get 10% off for 3 months on the qualifying self-serve billing once that Checkout converts.
What “completes Checkout” means in practice: the referred account finishes the paid-path Checkout flow that starts the trial / subscription — not merely creating a login. Until Checkout completes, the referral has not converted and the REFERRAL10 WAF-style discount has not started.
Billing after the three discounted months returns to the normal self-serve rate on pricing. Add or remove sites anytime on self-serve; the referral window applies to the qualifying referral conversion as documented in the account referral tools — not as a permanent agency rebate.
What the discount applies to (and what it does not)
Applies to: self-serve ProtectMyWebsite managed WAF at the published $150/site/month (or annual equivalent) path — 10% off for 3 months for both the referrer and the referred friend after conversion.
Does not change: the product model (managed rules, count → promote, Promote Copilot — Promote / Hold / Needs allowlist — you still click once, it does not auto-block), free SSL, or human support. The 14-day trial at Checkout stays. Estate / multi-site quoting is still Talk to sales — no Estate dollar amounts on this page. DIY vs managed tradeoffs still matter; people-cost and form risk are on DIY WAF vs managed and Managed WAF pricing: is $150/site worth it?
If you are shopping only for a coupon and not the operator model, read the inclusions first. The referral is a thank-you for a converted peer — not a substitute for understanding count-first rollout.
Tips that help referrals convert
Lead with the trial, not only the code. Friends care that they can cancel inside 14 days; the 10% × 3 months is icing after Checkout.
Share setup expectations. One DNS change (or concierge DNS); hosting and CMS stay put. Point them at Managed WAF setup for the DNS cutover → count walkthrough.
Use the dashboard link. Prefer /dashboard/account#referral over retyped URLs so attribution stays clean.
One site vs many. One or a few sites → self-serve + referral. Many campus/agency properties → Talk to sales for volume; do not reverse-engineer Estate from $150.
Scan first if they are cautious. A free scan grades a domain before any DNS change — see Free website security scan: what the grade means.
