Afrohost is User friendly. They are very quick to respond.The whatsapp chat is the best. The product quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time since installation. Vumatel technicians failed to install my fibre line and wouldn't recommend them at all. I then changed to Openserve and received fast excellent service.

You get to chat with a real human on whatsapp, not a bot, like most other internet service providers. Friendly , professional and efficient. Great rates.

I’ve been with Afrihost for over 15 years, both for my business and personal needs. Their services are easy to use, and their client support is exceptionally quick and helpful. I’ve never encountered any issues with them or their service. Whether it’s setting up new connections or resolving queries, Afrihost has consistently delivered. Their reliable infrastructure and excellent security make them a top choice for South African web hosting and ISP. I highly recommend Afrihost!

They told me that I don't an active account with them, when I've been using them as an ISP for a whole month. They literally cost me over 200 USD in 2 days. When contacting them, they literally took over two days..They apparentlyddon't even have a complaint's department 🙄🙄🙄.. Very disappointed in their service.

I had a problem during their closing hours. But once they start operating i used the whatsapp service helpline. Siphiwe was quick to assist me. In no time, I was back online doing my work. I highly recommend and I’m happy

Great service don't have to wait long real value for money after my experience with Vox. My previous experience was really frustrating going from pillow to post and not getting an answer sometimes for days. Working on WhatsApp it was more or less instantaneous. I was so impressed after using the portable cellular service that I've decided to switch my home fibre as well.

First impression of Afrihost is very good. We were able to sort out the issue with our fibre installation, and the agent was very patient and friendly.

Service improved since last interaction!!!! hosting is unstable and support is rubbish, whatsup support is delayed where you can spend 2 hours on a simple inquiry, call centre doesn't take calls anymore and when there is a national issue with hosting you find out by accident when you emails start bouncing later to discover that Afrihost is having issues. Will start looking for an alternative service provider
