Great hosting provider! Everything is extremely automated and immediate. Representatives on WhatsApp are shockingly experts and have a great understanding of project hosting. First hosting provider I’ve dealt with in South Africa that have people with that kind of expertise.

Been with them since 2018 and I cannot complain about their service at all. I will rather do business with them instead of going directly through Telkom. Afrihost caters for all income groups, plus they reward loyal customers with nice upgrades. I'm ever so happy to be part of this community...

A truly one stop positive experience from ease of usability on the website down to the fast and efficient whatsapp interaction with their service agent. An uplifting experience in these times of shoddy customer service experiences. Well done Afrihost for the positive and uplifting experience!

From day 1 Afrihost has been simply amazing. No problem to big for them to resolve. They even helped me out for 3 months when I was retrenched so that I could still find a job on the Internet. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

If you want the best ISP and customer service, look no further. I do all my internet services through Afrihost from Fibre, Mobile and Hosting. Never experienced any issues, and their support staff is excellent.

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.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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.
