I have used afrihost since 2014. So far it has been really good. Like any other thing there is ups and downs, I would like to say they have tried by all means to stay on top of the matter. Till today, i can happily say they are the best hosting company in South Africa if not the whole of Africa.

11 years of being an Afrihost customer, it is a pure joy. I have used them from nearly 10 website hosting (dedicated and shared for year), 2 Fibre and 1 VOIP. I have been impressed by their love and dedication to excellence. People talk cloud, Afrihost has been our cloud for years and making it easy for people like me to understand. I would recommend them to anyone out there. Their service is absolutely delightful.

We've had a great experience with Afrihost the past 8 months. The initial set up was super easy and our router arrived quickly. The app is ridiculously user friendly! We are tech savvy people but I do feel that people that aren't will get the hang of it quickly. Being able to get support on WhatsApp is also so convenient. Very happy with our decision to go with Afrihost!

I have 2 products with Afrihost, Mobile and Hosting. They have been fantastic. Hosting: Excellent speeds and service, I had an issue with a php file, and they solved it within 5 minutes. Mobile: The app is great and makes topping up easy. The price for data is the lowest I have seen, I pay for 5 gigs what I was paying for 1 gig with a different provider... Finally, I have had no signal issues. I 100% recommend Afrihost.

I’ve used Afrihost for longer than I can remember. I’ve used them for adsl lines back in the day and then vdsl (I actually tested their fair use policy and made it on the top 10 highest data users in the country and not shaped or throttled once on a 20Mb vdsl line) I’ve used them for small businesses and I’ve been with their mobile data plan for years now and working in the IT industry, I’ve dealt with a lot of service providers and as a data provider. I HIGHLY recommend Afrihost to everyone and anyone who has mtn! Use Afrihost data! One down side is that they rely on third party companies (helkom, frogfoot and whoever) almost all the issues I’ve had are with the physical providers. And Afrihost support has always been extremely helpful even with dealing with third parties like telkom. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ there. 6 stars. Afrihost is a solid data provider

I've been with Afrihost for years, I moved away 5 years ago, as I had to take over the ISP from the owner when I bought our new house, but very quickly moved back to Afrihost. Friendly and Efficient service and accounts representatives. Highly recommend Afrihost.

Support is very helpful and informative. I am happy with their products, internet has only been offline once (for under 2 hours), in a 3 year period for me.

So far so good Afrihost - I am impressed with your client service and promise delivery - highly recommended - real time response and on the ball first line tech support. I just wish my current complex allowed me to use Afrihost. Instead I am forced to use another service provider.

I really love Afrihost and how seamless they are with their support. I use to be with them but my current apartment doesn't have them as an ISP. I contacted them to assist my mom and they assisted so quickly. Unfortunately the matter isn't sorted due to loadshedding but I know if the problem was on their side they would've sorted it out already. Thank you Morris D for being so amazing!

Thank you Afrihost for always being available to assist with any query and also handling it with patience. You are honestly the best service provider I have worked with. I will recommend you to anyone just because of your service!

Exceptional help provided every time I have a problem with my website. The problem is solved super quickly. I would have given up a long time ago, trying to do my website myself, if it were not for Afrihost's help via Whatsapp.

Afrihost is definitely one of the most efficient businesses that I have dealt with thus far. A friendly efficient team with great knowledge of their products and services. Will not use another service provider in future.

Getting started with Pure DSL

Checking Pure DSL coverage

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

No, not all line speeds will be available in all covered areas. This is because of infrastructure restrictions on Openserve’s side. Please use our Coverage Tool to check which packages are available in your area.

If DSL is not available in your area, we’ll check if any of our other data solutions are available. You can also choose to give us your details and we’ll let you know as soon as one of our Internet solutions becomes available in your area.
