The best hosting companny inSouth Africa right now, their customer services actually works, they respond instantly both on whatsapp and email. their whatsapp response is actually humans not others whom you waste time with a badly programmed robot. Afrihost actually go allthe way I have realised that every ticket is actually pinned as high priority which makes things even more powerful dealing with them.

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.

Short description, my fiber line was moved from my old location to a new premises. Working with huge amounts of data I've notice slow speeds and did a speed test. The line was underperforming and I contacted my provide, Afrihost. I was assisted via the whatsapp line by Nhlakanipho who was super helpful and assisted promptly. From Afrihost side all was in order and a ticket was logged with the last mile provider to re-provision my line with the correct line speed. Thank you very much for the prompt assistance and support Nhlakanipho, it's much appreciated. Great JOB!

A truly one stop positive experience from ease of usability on the website down to the fast and efficient whatsapp interaction with their service agent. An uplifting experience in these times of shoddy customer service experiences. Well done Afrihost for the positive and uplifting experience!

I am a long-time Afrihost client and besides for a wobble in their call center back in 2018 I think, they’ve been wonderful. “Customer-centric” Highly recommended.

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.
