Affiliate program: Self hosting or Third party hosting?

    Hi,

    I am looking to set up an affiliate marketing program for my website. I have been doing some search about the various affiliate marketing softwares and had read through some posts on this forum as well.

    I am not sure of the advantages/disadvantages of self hosting the program or using a third party like CJ.

    My main concerns of self hosting are technical issues especially during set up, time consumption in managing the affiliates once the set up is done.
    I forecast somewhere around 10-20 affiliates to be a part of my program to start off. So, basically it would be a small sized network.

    Can anyone share some thoughts on technical issues(as I am a non-technical person) and how much time would need to be allotted for managing 10-20 affiliates?

    Many Thanks.
