Commercial terms at a glance
| Payout timing | Qualifying hosting referrals have a 97-day holding period. Approved commissions are paid once a month by direct bank transfer, before the last business day of the month according to the current affiliate page. |
|---|---|
| Minimum payout | No public minimum is stated on the reviewed current DreamHost TUNE affiliate page. |
| Allowed traffic | Anyone can apply through TUNE and a DreamHost customer account is not required; referrals must be new, unique customers who purchase qualifying hosting. |
| Paid search / PPC | DreamHost’s current TUNE terms prohibit branded/misspelled keyword bidding and paid-search practices that present the affiliate as DreamHost; use the governing TUNE terms before running paid promotion. |
| Geography | Global-facing program subject to TUNE/bank-transfer support and local eligibility. |
| Recurring duration | One-time commission per qualifying new hosting customer; not renewal recurring. |
| Approval difficulty | Low-to-moderate — TUNE signup is open, with ongoing conversion validation. |
| Terms note | The old Refer & Earn program closed in December 2025; current affiliate coverage should use the TUNE program and its 97-day hold / 30-day tracking rules. |
Only terms supported by the reviewed source are shown. Unpublished details are left out rather than estimated.
