Been with Afrihost for years. This is the one company where you can actually speak to a person and not a BOT. They are happy to help and to help you understand what's going on and so empowering you. I use them for domain hosting.

Recommend. Signed up with afrihost and had my intenet up and running in less then 5 working days. After being stuck with no internet for over 2 weeks due to previous provider issues, this was such a huge help and relief

I've been a loyal customer of Afrihost for several years now, and I must say, their service has been consistently outstanding! My websites have enjoyed uninterrupted uptime, thanks to their reliable hosting. Their Customer portal is not only user-friendly but also incredibly efficient. Whenever I require assistance, reaching out to them via WhatsApp has been a breeze. Impressed by their hosting services, I decided to switch to Afrihost as my ISP a year ago, and it's been a decision I'm grateful for. And now, with the addition of AirMobile to their service offerings, they've only further solidified my satisfaction. Kudos to Afrihost! Proud to be one of your satisfied clients!

Team is fantastic. Service is beyond excellent. Every experience I have had... and there have been many... as been slick, problem solving, and on more than one occasion keeping me on the line, when I am sure I'm all set, to do the extra checks and and ensure all is in order before I leave. Really incredible. We'll done!

As a new business I decided to use Afrihost as my website service provider, I however made the mistake not to order the correct package, Thulani assisted me on whatsapp and it did not even take 10 minutes to correct the mistake I made. I am so impressed, such customer service deserves more than just 5 stars.

I set up my parents fibre account. The fibre was installed by vumatel and Afrihost their ISP. As Afrihost wasn’t open, I tried the WhatsApp function. Germaine was the person helping me on the other end. He/She was really professional, helpful and we managed to set up the fibre and get everything working in no time. Really GREAT service. Thank you!

This rating is only related to the set up process. Afrihost were efficient in getting me set up and connected. We had to go through the process of configuring my router once we knew the ONT was operating normally. It was fast and efficient and I absolutely know if I had been with a few providers I’d previously tried, this would not have been done

Afrihost service is really tops. Love how they're available on WhatsApp and are quick to respond and helpful. They have never given me any good reason to consider any other provider and they just keep up the good work. Awesome.

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!

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.
