Like I wish Afrihost the best and want them to prosper. They are friendly and are genuinely concerned individuals and I say individuals not business because they don't treat you like they are behind closed walls and sky scrapers. They are humble and very professional.

Beverly helped me when my domain was down and I couldn’t receive emails—she was an absolute star. Polite, professional, and incredibly respectful, she asked for the right access before doing anything, which made me feel totally secure. She resolved the issue quickly and kindly, and honestly turned a stressful situation into a breeze. Massive kudos to her—Afrihost, she’s a keeper!

Afrihost's support and online self manage system works so well that I will not even consider using a different web host or fibre service provider. Service always trumps prices although their prices are still very good.

There were some hiccups at first from my side. Afrihost was patient and kept me in the loop at all times and my fibre was installed within no time. I can recomend Afrihost to anyone.

Afrihost makes dealing with my email issues a breeze. Their consultants on WhatsApp are knowledgeable and really friendly. The fact that I can WhatApp and get an almost immediate answer is an absolute pleasure.

I have been with Afrihost for more than two years for my Fibre services in Cape Town and they are very efficient and professional. I moved to Pretoria in Centurion and it is a pity I don't see you in my area because I'm desperately in need of cheaper and professional Fibre services this side. If you also provide services this side please let me know.

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.
