I am a very satisfied customer of Afrihost! They are well organized and helpful with their clients and do a very good job at solving issues in real time. I host 3 domains with them and never have I had any complaints.

Afrihost one technical issue with the router not authenticating and one general inquiry, dealt with efficiently and quickly and that is why I use them as my preferred provider. Problem solved in a few minutes and no lengthy delay on the phone as the call was answered within a few rings.

I've chosen Afrihost for 5 years now and have very rarely been disappointed. Their service agents are the kindest people! Shout out to Palesa taking calls in accounts. What a great employee you have.

Network installation was done fast and professional. Keep using Quinton and collegue from Britelink - Vumatel, he is very polite and professional, minimum messing where they worked. Very clean installation. This is for an uptime sensitive business, so I will be glad to evaluate and comment in the near future. I am a new customer with Afrihost so service still to be seen. .

Honestly, Afrihost is the best there is. I've never used any other hosting company and not planning to either because their service is effective and offers great value for money. My most favourite thing about their whole service structure is the support. I love that it's easily accessible, exists in different channels, prompt and highly responsive. Thank you.

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'

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.
