Unbelievably good service via whats app - equivalent to having a person sitting right next to me. In today’s world, having a human to help is a wonder thing.

Exceptional Service, Year After Year I’ve been using AfriHost for many years, both for business and personal purposes, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a single bad experience. From the quality of their products to their outstanding customer service, AfriHost has consistently exceeded my expectations. In an industry where issues can often arise, AfriHost has proven to be almost flawless. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, their support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to find a company where everything, from account management to service delivery, runs this smoothly. On top of all that, their pricing is very reasonable for the level of service they provide. I highly recommend AfriHost to anyone looking for reliable and well-priced hosting and internet services. It’s been a fantastic experience, and I will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come.

I was assisted by someone named Sandile and I must say that he actually gave me the best customer service... And was so helpful... It's good to see how customer service has improved because the last I had a quary I was not impressed at all. Thanks Sandile for your assistance. If it were up to me I was gonna ask to be assisted by you only.🙏

I have been with Afrihost for years and years and years. I became a customer after I saw how they supported rural schools with ICT training and infrastructure in 2010. They deliver a solid service. Their online customer portal is easy to navigate - Download your invoice? Easy-peasy! What shines is their customer service. I love being able to get support via WhatsApp chat. The first consultant I talk to can solve all my problems. You don't need to escalate or transfer to someone else. I have only ever needed to speak with my fibre provider once - when we set up the connection in my new house. Afrihost handles the rest. I promise you, you will not get better customer service. Ten stars for Afrihost!

Excellent customer service. High quality broadband, and best value for money internet. Afrihost is dedicated to providing the best customer experience, from its amazing application, easy invoicing and billing, support on WhatsApp, via tickets and emails, and its presence on many well known technology websites. Be assured that any issues you may encounter (which isn't many) will be resolved swiftly and efficiently.

Had to get back to Afrihost since Frogfoot didn't receive a submission with all the necessary documents for my fibre migration application. Larry S was very quick to assist me with a resubmission from Afrihost's side.

Afrihost has been amazing throughout the years, been using them for web hosting since 2016 and not a day has gone by where I wasn't satisfied, easy to use clientzone to apply and change products, also the website builder is very easy to use.

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.
