Afrihost has been fantastic hosting my website. A few months ago I moved my internet from Telkom to Afrihost and it was the best decision I ever made. I know any issues will be sorted out right away. There's always someone to speak to and multiple ways to communicate.

Afrihost not only has products to meet your internet needs and speeds, whilst they also hold a compliment of staffing that has a willingness to assist you and guide you every step of the way. I recommend Afrihost to everyone who works remotely from home especially those who serve in international markets. They are also the number one ISP in our country of South Africa.

I use Afrihost for email domain hosting. It's affordable, easy to set up and use, and the customer service has always been outstanding. I appreciate the various options for customer support, particularly the WhatsApp channel.

With all of South Africa's challenges due to load shedding and loosing work time we don't need Afrihost to add to our load. But thank goodness Afrihost are professionals and sorted out server issues quickly and promptly. Sandile was my tech doc and saved me from crashing my computer. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I have been dealing with Afrihost for many years, and have always found their products to be very comprehensive and competitive. The backup service has always been very good to excellent. I have never experienced poor service, either personally or technically.

Made use of the WA contact support option which was an absolute pleasure. Response was quick, professional and accurate/to the point with no ambiguity from Blessing. A different experience when compared to most other call centres/WA support contact points that I have dealt with previously!

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
