Hosting is quite cheap, you should be able to get a domain and a full year of basic hosting for around $50-$60. With that, you have full control, can promote whomever you want and install almost whatever you want too. Many sponsors will offer you free hosting, but they will limit you to certain scripts or not even allow any scripts at all.

Because of that, you need to get your own hosting, so you can do what you want and how you want it. In these days you might also want to spread your eaggs a bit, should one sponsor go missing or become unrealiable with their payments, then you better not have too much lifetime revenue or businesses tied up with them. I think you do right tto indentify certain areas, but inside each area, also work with 2-4 sponsors and spread your efforts between them.

Do this both to lower your risks with each individual sponsor, but also as a way to see what type of conversions you can expect within each business area. One sponsor might do great while another one might do aweful, to identify this you need to work with several within each area of your three sources.

Keep all other costs low, but let hosting and one or two domains cost you a bit to get started.
