Afrihost features exemplary customer service, especially when compared to 2 other major ISPs that I interacted with for most of last week. These 2 sub-standard ISPs feature frustratingly slow responses via Whatsapp, and were inept in solving for a FNO glitch (Vumatel) that had been hampering my fibre activation. Glad to report that Afrihost figured out the issue within minutes of contacting them, and yep I've now promptly signed up with them - which too has been a painless exercise. If you in the market for an ISP service, and unless you like subjecting yourself to pain, suggest you look at Afrihost first 😁

Great sim card that wont let you down. Is load shedding fading off ur network connection- leaving u in the dark and also without connection?? No problem! cause the network of this sim card is top-notch- stays connected even when it's 7 years of load shedding. The internet speed is to die for and what i love most about this masterpiece of a sim card is it's slow call ratings( believe me you could talk for hours 🤳). So if a speedy internet + lowest call rating is your thing ( at an amazing price 😃) then Afrihost is for you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ N.B you wont regret it that's a fact.

I love their WhatsApp channel for reporting issues. They reply immediately and resolve the issue. Excellent service always. I can say this because mu previous provider has never once replied to WhatsApp and their process was unbearable and took days

I've been using Afrihost for years, and I have yet to have any issue. In the rare case that I do require assistance, they are always avaible to help and deliver the service with a smile, without any issue. No lengthy waiting, service is the best I've every had from any ISP. 100% would recommend.

Afrihost is the best thing ever happened to me as I am above 50 years and always had an IT personal assistant. Now I don't need a personal assistant, I just call Afrihost and get guidance on how to do it myself. They are very patient 🙂

I have had such a dream of an experience setting up my company domain and email. Was assisted on Whatsapp by Siphiwe who was very professional and patient with me. True asset to any company and team.

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.
