Had an issue with our WiFi going down but was quickly able to WhatsApp with Afrihost assist they were friendly helpful and patient. And although we have to log a service request I was assured that they would monitor and follow up. Just being kept in the loop knowing it will get sorted out and they are following through is a great advance on me having to battle to get through to call centers and have to keep repeating my story. Very happy to have Afrihost oversight.

I had a great experience with Jackson from Afrihost's support team. He was professional, friendly, and very helpful. Jackson listened to my concerns, provided clear solutions, and ensured everything was resolved quickly. His great attitude and efficiency made the whole process easy and stress-free. Afrihost is lucky to have him on their team! Thank you, Jackson, for the excellent service!

The support I get from the WhatsApp communication line is just super good! The response time is minimal and always helps me to get to the business going. Even the newly introduced automated payments method, for overdue invoices helps. Keep it up guys
