Love dealing with his company. They're on the ball. I often use their WhatsApp Chat support for any issues I have they're quick to respond and resolve my issues.

I have a domain plan with Afrihost. I wouldn’t change to other domain brands, for example the international ones, because of the excellent support I get from Clientzone in Afrihost. I can’t wait to upgrade plans with them on this journey I’m on.

I got to talk to a real human being on their whatsapp chat without having to go through an automated bot thing. Never under estimate the power of real human interaction. They've gained a customer

Been a client for about 7-10years and have never experienced any issues. Have always received good service. Whenever I have queries or technical problems I'm usually assisted immediately be it via the help channels or via social media.

Had the best service from Afrihost when logging an issue with them. Their consultant Sibusiso M was very patient and professional. Knew exactly how to resolve my issue. Afrihost made is very easy to report the issue and chat to someone.

Great hosting service. Interruptions are non-existent, their support service on WhatsApp is absolutely wonderful! Give them the basics and they can do magic!

All the ISP's have a similar price, but with Afrihost you always get knowledgeable answers and I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to get a reply. They also have an awesome WhatsApp help line.

My recommendation is for Mduduzi M, he resolved my problem by following a process of trouble shooting instead of the usual put the route on and off! Good experience and has improved my perception of Afrihost as a service provider.

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.
