Hassle free service and you don’t have to deal with service providers who never take your calls. Afrihost has made surfing the internet so much easier. We are spoilt

I have been using Afrihost for business hosting services for almost 10 years. Over the years their service just keeps getting greater! The WhatsApp channel support is amazing and timeous! I once had issues while in the U.S. and had my OTP set to cellphone number and therefore could retrieve it. I chatted to an agent on the WhatsApp channel and all issues were resolved instantly. I absolutely recommend Afrihost to any business.

I've been with Afrihost for a good few years and they have been a great ISP. Their packages are great value for money and when it comes to resolving issues, they have a Whatsapp chat portal which makes it super simple to resolve any issues you may have in real time.

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!

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

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.
