Dreamhost Web Hosting Plans
I have hosted my blog on Dreamhost for one year on WordPress hosting and I got a 97% discount on shared hosting. I have paid only $23 for a year. Since I was just a beginner so I started with Dreamhost shared hosting.
Dreamhost offers six different plans for hosting and in all plans you will get the SSD storage and you can host multiple websites.
WordPress Hosting and Website Hosting- This plan starting from $2.59 per month. It is very good for beginners.
VPS Hosting- If you want more performance and your blog has very good traffic then I would recommend you go for VPS hosting. In this, you will get a separate server. This plan is a bit expensive starting from $10 per month.
Cloud Hosting- Dreamhost has introduced cloud hosting like Vultr, Cloudways, Digital Ocean, etc. Cloud hosting charges are the hourly basis ($0.0075 per hour), you will have to pay only for the used hours.
Dreamhost Affiliate Sign up
If you are a Dreamhost user then you don’t need to have a different account for Dreamhost affiliate.
If you are not a user of the Dreamhost, then you can sign up using this link. Fill all the necessary information and sign up.
All the information is personal and you will have to provide the website name on which you are going to promote the Dreamhost hosting.
Dreamhost Affiliate Dashboard
Once you sign up its time to promote the Dreamhost, Log in to your account. Click on your Profile >> Refer and Earn.
You will be redirected to your affiliate dashboard. Here, you can manage all your affiliate settings.
Links and Banners
You will get the DreamHost Referral Link from the dashboard. You can put it on your website.
Also, if you want Dreamhost banners, you can download it from the Graphics section.
Commission
Dreamhost Affiliate offers different commission for monthly and annual plans.
I would recommend you to promote the Shared Unlimited- Give $50, Get $50, the user will get the $50 and you will get $50.
You will get a $97 for each referral of shared hosting. In which if the user applied the coupon code, then that much amount would deduct from your referral amount.
For each referral, your payment will be held for 97 days because Dreamhost hosting has 97 days money-back guarantee. In this period if the referral user cancels their hosting plan, then you will not get a referral amount.
Dreamhost Affiliate Stats
You can also see the performance of your affiliate account itself. Go to Your Reward section and you can see the last 24-hour summary, you can apply a filter to see the complete stats.
My Income
I have been using Dreamhost for one year, during this period I was promoting it on my blog. I have written an article about Dreamhost review and added a few affiliate links in it.
Within a six month, I got four referrals but three of them canceled their plan within 3 months so I didn’t get the referral rewards. For one referral I got $47 (you can see above screenshot in stats section) which was my first blogging and affiliate income.

- $97 referral amount for each sign-up.
- The payment holding period is 97 days.
- If the referral applies the coupon code, then that much amount will get deducted from your account.
