I have been a customer since their R29 per gig promotion i.e a long time. Been ok times and Good times. Overall many more good times than o.k. times.

Afrihost really are one of the best ISP’s. I tried signing up to a competitor who claim to be the best but they could not even get my order placed correctly when I moved homes. The competitors only way of communication was via messaging and the agents never responded in time. Afrihost was very different, they went above and beyond to get me connected despite line transfer challenges. Keep it up 💪❤️

Sharon Uppink

Absolutely the Best! Friendly, helpful, patient! Fixed my problem even though it was taking long, they never gave up until all was sorted. Thank you Afrihost! Your staff are superb!

First time having to use Afrihost for a client, their support is absolutely amazing. Thank you Yvonne for helping me and setting such a high standard for client services!

I’ve been a client of Afrihost’s for years and have had only good and excellent service from them. They are fast, friendly, professional and their systems are easy to use. They are communicate and it feels like I’m dealing with people and not a company. I have not had such consistent quality experience from any other service provider. And from the last research I did, they have competitive prices. I highly recommend them.

Afrihost were efficient and quick and friendly. All any client need is for their issues to be resolved as quickly as possible and that's what afrihost did for me

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.

Our network engineers monitor and maintain your server’s hardware, ensuring the component failure is kept to an absolute minimum and is prevented or pre-empted wherever possible.
