No problems with Afrihost contrary to some other people's experiences. Maybe I'm lucky, caught their support staff on a good day or they're trying the best they can and make mistakes sometime. Anyway, based on my experiences with my current fibre line, UPS, one domain with the low end shared hosting, I have received nothing but excellent service for the amount of money I pay every month.

Service is always really good and they've proven reliable over the last 2 years. My only issue is that their phone lines don't work on holidays and weekends. They do have a very helpful WhatsApp help centre that's available daily, but it also has shorter hours on weekends and holidays. So if you have an issue on a holiday, depending on the time, you might have to sit tight until normal business hours

There us absolutely no ISP that even comes close to Afrihost. Quality, Service, Products even the Application itself. User friendly and helpful experience from installion to the 3 years as a customer. I have never been offline or had trouble. As an IT Specialist, I wish they were around 10 years ago when I was a 3rd party ISP to my customers.

What a fantastic company - truly 'pure joy' to have someone pleasantly and attentively listen to your complaint and actually DO something about it instantly! I highly recommend them. Keep up the amazing work people - an incredible service.

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!

Highly recommend afrihost, whatever you do don't sign up with vodacom. No client service, no truth and not worth it. Afrihost is the way to go.

Getting assistance through WhatsApp was very helpful since it was after hours. The person who assisted me, Nkululeko, was very capable, professional and patient. I never would have solved the issue on my own. I am very happy to have my wifi working again. Thank you, Nkululeko!

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.
