I nearly didn’t go with Afrihost because I saw all the good reviews and thought it was fake reviews 😂 But I’m glad to say I’ve never experienced such good help from a company before. I can’t recommend them enough. Keep up the outstanding work Afrihost team 😁

What outstanding service I had with Noluyolo. He went above and beyond to repair a WiFi fault. I am grateful for his patience and effort. Thank you Noluyolo.

We have been using Afrihost at home fibre since 2019 & have had minimal problems with their service. On the odd occasion that there was an issue it was quickly sorted out via their WhatsApp. I definitely recommend them to all my friends

And once again I received first class service from Afrihost. All our company websites are with Afrihost and they are our ISP as well. This morning a client contacted our office that he couldn't get onto a website as the AutoSSL certificate for the domain had expired this morning. I sent Afrihost a message on the app at 09H06 and received a message at 09H21 that my website was loading securely again. Thank you Afrihost team!

So pleased with the amazing fast service from Afrihost. I am not regretting choosing them for 1 sec. Their service is quick and easy and their support is top notch to install. The fibre itself is just a dream. Geraldo who assisted me was the best customer service guide ever. He had so much patience with me and his thinking, solving skills, and response is solid speedy. Geraldo you are the MAN!!!! Afrihost, you guys are amazing.

Like I wish Afrihost the best and want them to prosper. They are friendly and are genuinely concerned individuals and I say individuals not business because they don't treat you like they are behind closed walls and sky scrapers. They are humble and very professional.

Service is good value. Works well and so nice to have other methods to contact company (like Whatsapp) and not have to deal with a call centre

Great hosting company. Their Customer service is very efficient. I was assisted by a lady, Khanyisile, when I had issues with my website. She turned me into a tech guru over a simple whatsapp chat. Super super great service.

In process of changing ISP's and Afrihost have made it simple, efficient and a pleasure. Love their WhatsApp chat functionality - they answered my questions quickly and helped with the order process. Let's see what happens in the next stage of my migration.....but if this is anything to go by, I know it will be seamless and professional!

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.
