Service is great, and the assistance received via Client Zone is always professional and 10 out of 10 times the queries and technical difficulties are resolved quickly or as quick as possible. The client zone portal is easy to understand and to use. Thank you.

Afrihost customer service is fantastic and it has been a pleasure to start an account and deal with them and their superb deals. HOWEVER, one of the courier companies that they use is useless and has a terrible rating so I am not sure why they still use them. Really puts a damper on the great service from Afrihost. Hoping if anyone sees this they can be aware, and also, if someone at Afrihost is reading this perhaps its something to reconsider as I am imagine I am not the only person who has had issues with Courier-it.

Great sim card that wont let you down. Is load shedding fading off ur network connection- leaving u in the dark and also without connection?? No problem! cause the network of this sim card is top-notch- stays connected even when it's 7 years of load shedding. The internet speed is to die for and what i love most about this masterpiece of a sim card is it's slow call ratings( believe me you could talk for hours 🤳). So if a speedy internet + lowest call rating is your thing ( at an amazing price 😃) then Afrihost is for you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ N.B you wont regret it that's a fact.

I have been a customer for years and am very happy with the service provided; it just works. And on the odd occasion, if I did need support, excellent and knowledgeable staff.

I struggled to connect to the internet and asked for assistance via WhatsApp. I was guided on how to reset and test connection. Great service and patience. Problem resolved. Thank you!

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...

I recently signed up with Afrihost, and I mostly used WhatsApp to communicate. All those who responded, did so promptly and helped me every step of the way. They were friendly and helpful. I would gladly recommend anyone who would like Afrihost to be there hosting provider. Fast and efficient. My independent input as a new client.

I'm a website developer and today I had some problems with the setting up a new website, I could not The account details that usually is sent to me through e-mail did not arrive when after 4 calls and talking to 4 different people still no results forthcoming I then talked to a lady named Nokuthula and this was a total disgrace as she did not know what were account details I was looking for When told that I was looking for User and password she simply ignored me. My frustration is now immense but by hook or crook I managed to get the necessary user and password the site was eventually up but it can not be seen on phones I was told but another person that they had to tweak something on the server, but I must write an email for them to do that I sent email and 2 hour later I still have no joy. Being a customer with AFRIHOST for the last 16 years this is no way to treat a customer. PURE JOY, NO SIR you are not. Shame on all of you for not being professional and caring.
