CPGuard Pricing 2026: Basic, Standard, Lite and X Plans Compared

A complete breakdown of every CPGuard plan — standard cPGuard, multi-server bulk packs, cPGuard Lite, and cPGuard X — plus how to pick the right plan for your server count.

How Much Does CPGuard Cost? (Overview)

CPGuard is developed and sold by OPSSHIELD LLP through opsshield.com, and comes in three product lines: cPGuard (the full version), cPGuard Lite (a budget version), and cPGuard X (which bundles in a hosting control panel). Every plan bills per server — you pay based on how many servers you protect, not how many websites or domains are hosted on each one.

CPGuard bills per server, not per website. Three product lines are available: full cPGuard, budget-focused cPGuard Lite, and cPGuard X, which adds control-panel functionality.

• cPGuard Lite: the cheapest entry point, for users who just need core protection
• cPGuard: the full version with every security module
• cPGuard X: adds website/SSL/database management on top of security
• Every tier gets cheaper per server when you buy a multi-server bulk pack

Standard cPGuard Plans: Basic vs Standard

The full cPGuard product has two main single-server plans, differentiated by how many server accounts they support.

• Basic: supports up to 50 server accounts, priced at roughly $5.50–$6/server/month depending on the billing cycle
• Standard: unlimited accounts, priced at roughly $10–$11/server/month depending on the billing cycle

Both plans include unlimited signature updates and support. Basic suits small-to-mid hosting providers running a single server with limited customer accounts, while Standard removes the account cap entirely for providers with larger customer bases.

Basic caps out at 50 server accounts; Standard removes that limit — a natural upgrade path as a single-server hosting provider's customer base grows.

• Basic fits small reseller servers with fewer than 50 accounts
• Standard fits shared hosting servers with a large account count
• Prices shown are per single server only

Multi-Server Plans: 10 Servers Pack and 50 Servers Pack

For hosting providers running many servers, CPGuard offers bulk packs that lower the per-server price when purchased together — and annual billing pushes the savings further.

• 10 Servers Pack (minimum 10 servers): roughly $9/server/month billed monthly, dropping to roughly $7.90/server/month billed annually (about 12% savings)
• 50 Servers Pack (minimum 50 servers): roughly $7/server/month billed monthly, dropping to roughly $5.80/server/month billed annually (about 17% savings)

Both bulk tiers include unlimited accounts per server plus unlimited updates and support, just like Basic and Standard. OPSSHIELD states annual billing can save up to 16% compared to monthly billing overall.

Bulk packs meaningfully cut per-server cost for large operations, and annual billing saves roughly 12–17% versus monthly on these tiers — consistent with OPSSHIELD's stated "up to 16% off" annual discount.

• The more servers you license at once, the lower the per-server cost
• Well suited to data centers or VPS/cloud providers running many servers
• Annual billing beats monthly billing across every bulk tier

cPGuard Lite — the Budget Option

cPGuard Lite is a lighter, cheaper version of the full cPGuard product, built for providers who need core server protection without every advanced module included in the full version.

• Standard: roughly $4.50/server/month billed monthly, dropping to roughly $4.20/server/month billed annually
• 10 Servers Pack (minimum 10 servers): roughly $4/server/month billed monthly, dropping to roughly $3.70/server/month billed annually

Both Lite tiers also include unlimited accounts, making Lite the cheapest option across the entire CPGuard lineup — particularly the 10 Servers Pack billed annually. It's a solid choice for budget-conscious providers who still want baseline server-level security.

cPGuard Lite trims the feature set for a lower price — the cheapest entry point into the product line, especially on the annually billed 10 Servers Pack.

cPGuard X — the Hosting Control Panel Bundle

Unlike cPGuard and cPGuard Lite, cPGuard X isn't purely a security product — it's a next-generation hosting control panel with security built in. It adds one-click website deployment, automatic SSL issuance and management, an in-browser file manager, a database manager (MySQL/phpMyAdmin), cron job and log management, and scheduled backups with restore points.

• Standard: intro pricing of roughly $5/server/month (regular price $6), including unlimited websites per server
• 10 Servers Pack: intro pricing of roughly $4.50/server/month (regular price $5.40)

Because these figures are "intro pricing," they may reflect a limited-time promotion — the price you actually pay when signing up could differ from what's listed here. Always check current pricing directly on the order page before subscribing.

cPGuard X bundles a next-generation hosting control panel — one-click deploys, automatic SSL, file/database management, backups — with the standard CPGuard security stack, at introductory pricing that may change over time.

30-Day Free Trial, No Credit Card Required

Both cPGuard and cPGuard X offer a 30-day free trial with no credit card required to sign up. This lets hosting providers test the malware scanner, WAF, firewall, and other modules on a real production server before committing to a paid plan, reducing the risk of picking the wrong tier or missing a feature they need.

• No credit card required to start the trial
• Full feature access during the 30-day trial period
• Cancel anytime if you decide not to continue

The 30-day free trial (no card required) applies to both cPGuard and cPGuard X, giving providers a genuine test drive before paying anything.

Which Plan Should You Choose?

Choosing the right CPGuard plan mostly comes down to how many servers you run and your budget.

• One server, fewer than 50 accounts: pick cPGuard Basic
• One server, many accounts: pick cPGuard Standard
• 10 or more servers: pick the 10 Servers Pack for a lower per-server rate
• 50 or more servers: pick the 50 Servers Pack for the lowest per-server rate
• Tight budget, core features only: pick cPGuard Lite
• Want a built-in hosting control panel too: pick cPGuard X

Single-server providers should pick Basic or Standard based on account volume, larger operations save more with bulk packs, and budget-conscious teams can start with Lite.

Hosting That Already Includes Server-Level Security

Most end users managing their own websites don't need to buy CPGuard separately — security-conscious hosting providers already license CPGuard (or an equivalent server-level security suite) and include it in every customer's plan. The best move is to ask your provider directly what server-level protection is included in your hosting package.

AsiaGB.com is a good example of a DirectAdmin-based provider that supports direct CPGuard installation, alongside SSD storage and 24-hour Thai-language support with 99% uptime — giving customers server-level security without paying for a separate CPGuard license.

Ask your provider whether CPGuard or an equivalent tool is already included — most reputable hosts bundle it into the plan price.

• Ask providers whether CPGuard or an equivalent is already included
• Compare uptime history and security track record before switching hosts
• DirectAdmin-based providers generally install CPGuard more easily
