I’ve only had good service from Afrihost since I bought my Fixed Wireless package in Jan. Definitely would recommend their products and services to others.

I needed help setting up my Outlook email. There was a bit of a hiccup, because I needed to follow steps regarding updating my password on the Clientzone and re-entering new logins on AfriHost in order to active my Outlook mail. Nonetheless, Nicholas was an excellent help. I am overjoyed that I found someone who was patient and clear with me. Excellent service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The best, all enquiries solved quickly, responce rate absolutely great. TANNER is the definition of Brilliance :D .Fairly easy platform (client zone) would recommend to anyone. I had to come back and add a few comments ;D absolutely great,tech wise am on 0, but i managed to built my own website with the aid of previous QnAs. So if a person who just knows word can do it mm just smiles. 19/12/22 Received the worst of assistance today. I was calling because my website was showing errors and and it said disc usage full in cpanel. The guy could only say they can't assist contact your web developer, I told him I created it using YouTube so I don't know what's wrong myself. Last time we had a similar problem it was resolved just aftr emailing. He advised to upgrade the package, but that's not the solution,even f I upgrade it wi still happen and you will say upgrade again. I already have 8 different packages with afrihost, I know this is busines but after so many years how can the only solution to my problem be upgrade the package clearly they are not keen on helping or just define the service provided to just 'hosting any other things its not our area'

I tried Afrihosts WhatsApp support Within 30 seconds I was chatting to Dineo. Within 5 minutes I was sorted. This is the best support I've received in a long long time. Keep it up Dineo!

Afrihost pricing and service cannot be beaten. Flexible and not locked into contracts easy to work off app you control. 10/10 highly recommend

There is no better Internet Host - Provider than Afrihost in South Africa. You can try - but as a host of multiple website for over 20 years, laying out fibre, you will make a big mistake using anyone else than Afrihost. I've learned my lesson the hard way, do not fall in the same trap - just use Afrihost!

(Translated by Google) I like Afrihost in general but would like a more personal telephone experience. (Original) Ek hou van Afrihost in die algemeen maar sou graag ‘n meer persoonlikke tellefoniese ervaring wou he.

In a country where good client service can be rare, Afrinatic is really a gem within Afrihost and deserves the highest praise, always extremely helpful and friendly and always does goes above at beyond. Any staff member at Afrihost should really aim to be like Afrinatic. Really can't thank him enough.

Getting started with Pure DSL

Unlike regular DSL, you do NOT need to pay for a voice landline that you don’t even use. With Pure DSL you only pay for the DSL line rental and data - saving you more than R200 every month!

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.
