Call lines are busy, but the assistance in WhatsApp more than makes up for that and is far cheaper to boot. 10/10 assistance once communication was established.

I had a query about one of the domain names registered in my name. Logged a query on ClientZone. I had a response in short moment but unfortinately I got busy with other things ... and could only complete my query after 17:30. Then I called and was redirected to using WhatsApp.afrihost.com. I got helped by Mike and was sorted within minutes. Thanks Mike. Excellent service Afrihost.

I've been a client of Afrihost since it's inception in Mitchell's Plain , Mitchell's plain Fibre then it changed now to Vuma Reach. I started off with the normal 20mpbs line and just today upgraded to the 100mbps line due to us having and getting to many gadgets over the years that needs wifi. My experience thus far has been great 👍 no real issues that wasn't handled promptly and efficiently by the Afrihost staff. They also have a dedicated watsup line which I use at times. So far so good , ive never had big problems or problems like my other friends had. And they deduct their monthly installments from my bank account every month so I don't struggle with vouchers and loading like some of my friends do. So Afrihost keep up the good work, I'm happy as can be 100%
