Glen M was extremely professional, patient, and helpful throughout our WhatsApp interaction. He listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and provided clear and thorough responses. Glen's demeanor was friendly and reassuring, which made the process smooth and stress-free. I was very impressed by Glen's product knowledge and his ability to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. He took the time to ensure I had all the information I needed and did not rush me at any point. Overall, the service I received from Glen was exceptional. He is a credit to your company and I would highly recommend him to others. Please pass along my sincere thanks for his outstanding customer service.

Best Web hosting company and their pricing is very competitive. Excellent service from the backup staff and their website is easy to use. I recommend them if you want to start your own website. Keep up the good work Afrihost.

I received assistance from a gentleman by the name Hector N. I had an issue with my router as I spilled water on it, which made it switch off, then I dried it, waited for a day or two, then tried it again, then it switched back on, but there were no WAN options to choose from. 1. Firstly, Hector helped me understand the functions of an ONT, the LAN cable, the router and how all these three parts make up what connects me to the internet. 2. The router was clearly damaged, so we tried another, the access points of the new router showed up but there was no internet 3. Hector suggested I get a new router then he taught me how to do the activation so I don't need to reach out to Afrihost again This was such an eye opening session and I give Hector a 10/10, Afrihost as well, I have been with them since 2017 and I am still a happy customer

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.
