Been with Afrihost for years, got a better deal only to return to Afrihost again. The support, service and stability of their network is with no compromise the best. Vodacom, MTN watch out! Thank you Afrihost 👍🏻

Effecient business that communicates well. Billing is accurate. The app works brilliantly and covers all you need. A technology company that actually uses technology effectively. Highly recommend this business.

I’ve been using Afrihost as my dedicated hosting company since 2017. I started off with a blog and now I host 2 of my business websites with them as well. They have always been friendly and attentive whenever I need any help or have any questions. They’ve got various products for various budgets as well, which makes them the ideal hosting platform for when you’re just starting out.

(Translated by Google) Afrihost's products and service are great. Help is just the proverbial click away. (Original) Afrihost se produkte en diens is puik. Hulp is net die spreekwoordelike een kliek ver.

Hands down, South Africa's best ISP. Inbound cal centre operators are extremely professional and as to the products, you can't find better in my opinion. Well done Afrihost team.

Stellar service! Was connected within the hour! A direct contrast to MWEB who still has not figured out how to cancel my old wifi connection. Despite having requested it a month ago.

Outstanding Service from Afrihost and Vumatel! I want to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service I received from both Afrihost and Vumatel today. A special thank you to Ricky S from Afrihost, who assisted my husband via the WhatsApp customer service portal. I work online with an international company, so resolving the issue urgently was critical. Ricky went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled swiftly and professionally — his dedication and effort truly made all the difference. I'd also like to commend Thabang and Gift, the technicians from Vumatel, who arrived to sort out the issue. They were friendly, efficient, and incredibly tidy in their work. The problem was resolved quickly, and with zero hassle. Thank you all for a job exceptionally well done — it’s reassuring to know that such great customer service still exists!

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.
