Page Text: Frequently Asked Questions
What is an affiliate program?
An affiliate program is a revenue sharing program where the affiliate (aka you) refers customers to certain products (that's us) and then we give you some money for the whole process! When you share your unique URL and a customer purchases a plan, you will be rewarded with a commission!
How long till I can make money? How much can I make? How will I be paid?
Payouts have a waiting period of 97 day, which is set by our gracious refund guarantee. As long as your referral does not cancel or miss a payment, you will see that payout within the 97 days of them signing up.
DreamHost has no limits on how much you can make. Just last year we had some top earners make over $9,000 in affiliate payouts.
We payout any approved commissions through PayPal once a month. As long as your rewards have been approved and are out of the 97 day holding window, you will see that payment via PayPal.
