Key differences
- DreamHost has the lower payout minimum ($0 vs. $100), so you may reach your first payment sooner.
- DreamHost lists Newsletter as an allowed channel; Hostinger doesn't list it.
- They run on different platforms: DreamHost uses TUNE, Hostinger uses its own in-house program.
How to choose
- Start with the product your audience would actually use. A fit with your audience matters more than the commission rate.
- Check that the program allows the place you post, and read its rules on paid ads and coupons.
- You can often join both. Many affiliates promote competing tools and explain who each one suits.
