as with many ISPs there comes a time when you need help, these guys are on top of it, efficient communication and problem solving, the kind of service you expect from any provider.

Blessing finaly figured out what others were missing for almost a month to resolve an ongoing issue of intermittent speed and random loss of internet at random times of the day.

Patricia Tallant

Frustrating network problem was fixed speedily and expertly by George M of Afrihost. No lengthy explanation was needed from my side and problem was sorted via photographs and written word. Great service by Afrihost and a definite recommendation from me!

Natasha Nagel-Dietrich

Amazing service from Afrihost and their app is the most efficient and self empowering I have ever experienced with an ISP. I got connected within hours of selecting Afrihost and from call centre to app, I am more than impressed with the experience! Well done and other ISP's can learn a thing or 2 from you guys.

Excellent service received from Kenneth on the Afrihost WApp chat/helpline system. Professional and speedy resolution of my issue. Much appreciated!

So far so good. Ordered my fibre on Tuesday. All was up and running on Friday. Their service is a refreshing uplifting hope for customer service in South Africa. They make use of latest technologies and processes. Only criticism would be to have a status update on each step, to remind one what is next and what is to be done, but their response time on enquiring is fast and on the ball. Lets hope the service standard are maintained in my new relationship with Afrihost and Octotel. Bye bye Telkom it has been awful. Hello super fast internet.

Terms and conditions

Terms and conditions

All Domain and Hosting Ts&Cs.

  • You can read the complete list of Domain and HostingTs&Cs here.

General.

  • Ownership of physical hardware rests solely with Afrihost at all times.
  • Clients may not make any claim to hardware deployed for their Hosting, and may not have access to Afrihost property, hardware or Hosting infrastructure (such as data centres) without prior consent, which must be obtained by written application with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Afrihost, at its discretion, may refuse such requests within reason.

Software updates.

  • Afrihost will be responsible for updates to operating systems and shared libraries on shared Hosting servers.
  • Afrihost will only effect Software updates to operating systems on managed dedicated servers (including shared cloud servers). Afrihost will not affect other updates on unmanaged servers, as this is not part of the Service offered.
  • For shared Hosting and managed dedicated solutions, Afrihost will implement security updates, Software patches and other updates or upgrades from time to time, to maintain the best performance, at their sole discretion. These upgrades include, but are not limited to, PHP, MySQL and CPanel release versions. Afrihost is under no obligation to effect such upgrades, or to rectify any impact such changes could potentially have to Hosting Clients.

Backups.

  • Clients are solely responsible for backing up their Data and Afrihost strongly encourages ALL Hosting Clients to do so as frequently and completely as possible. Afrihost will not be liable for any Data loss, or any other losses or damages related to backups or Data recovery without exception.
  • Afrihost may, in some instances, offer a separate backup Service in conjunction with dedicated Hosting, and will make such backups available to Clients on request as and when they are available. However, Afrihost does not warrant or guarantee the availability, completeness or “up to date” status of such backups.
  • Clients are ultimately responsible for their own Data, and Afrihost strongly encourages such Clients to continue to make their own backups as frequently and completely as possible to ensure that they have recourse in the event of any failure.
  • Afrihost also cannot guarantee the condition or fitness of any backups provided. Such backups are provided "as is" and are used at the Client’s own risk and discretion - whether restored by Afrihost by instruction from Clients or by Clients themselves.
  • Afrihost will not be liable for any losses or damages relating to any incidents arising out of such backups being provided (or not provided) to Clients on request.

* Optional free backup FTP server.

  • FTP backup servers are a free unmanaged back up service that clients can sign up for by contacting Afrihost.
  • Clients are solely responsible for their FTP backups using this optional free service.
