Really enjoy my experience with Afrihost so far! Their WhatsApp and telephonic assistance is always helpful, kind and patient and they’ve been providing my WiFi for 3+ years now without any problems. Would definitely recommend them! Please keep up the great service.

As far as website hosting and tech support goes, Afrihost gives me everything I could ask for. Been hosting with them since 2016 and the one or two issues I've had have been resolved very quickly and efficiently.

We never realize the worth of a company until you have to report an issue. Afrihost makes this so easy via whatsapp. You can sent 5 sec video of what your device do and they help so fast. Thx afrihost

Five star service received from Afrihost Call center Operater : Katlego. Matter was escalated and Katlego cleary explained the way forward for the Network to be re-connected again.

Afrihost is an amazing service provider, unlike other providers they get your complaints started with immediately you contact them and ensure they assist you in the best way possible or refer and get technicians allocated to you if it's a technical fault. I don't regret using your services

Excellent customer service (for all on a public holiday) the WhatsApp agent that dealt with my issue was awesome. I have been in the recruitment industry for +- 20 years specializing within the BPO and Contact Centre arena and i must say my experience today had left me speechless! Specifically in the manner the agent handled the issue. Its very rare to see innovative solutions based methodology being applied especially from an agents perspective and I must say Reitumetse well done in executing the following: you listened, confirmed, proposed, executed, test and problem resolution process was to the T well done.

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.
