Using the WhatsApp chat with afrihost tonight at 19:31.. Within 28 minutes of contacting the person on call my issue was solved.. No hassle, no complaint and with a serious level of professionalism.. I have recommended your bussiness to many and will definitely continue to do so.. Thank you for your efforts and willingness to assist no matter the amount of mistakes made from my side that made the process more difficult.. You guys actually rock..

They really care about their customers. If people took the time to breath through a whatsapp chat or email conversation they will get the necessary appropriate help that they need. 5 Star rating for Afrihost.

This is the only internet and mobile network provider that you should be with. Since taking out a fibre package with Afrihost 3 years ago I have only be wowed by them every step of the way. Their customer support is fantastic and entirely free. You can log a call back on their app for any issue where they call you within minutes. So no airtime or time spent holding on the line. Their sign process for all of their products is entirely digital and dead simple. Any changes you would want to make to you products like upgrades , downgrades, cancellations or new products is also a few clicks away on their website or app. I just signed up for their mobile offering AirMobile. I received my SIM card within a day of placing the order and I was up and running almost immediately. Great customer care is so hard to find these days but Afrihost has it absolutely waxed. Honestly, DO NOT CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE. Just sign up with Afrihost and you will thank me later.

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.

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.
