Service is good value. Works well and so nice to have other methods to contact company (like Whatsapp) and not have to deal with a call centre

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.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
