I've been a loyal Afrihost customer for over five years, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From the very beginning, Afrihost has consistently provided top-notch internet services with exceptional reliability and speed. Their customer support team is outstanding, always ready to assist with any queries or issues, often going above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. What sets Afrihost apart is their commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction. Their communication is clear, and they keep clients informed about any updates or changes in service. The user-friendly client portal makes managing my account and services effortless, and their competitive pricing offers great value for money. Over the years, Afrihost has continually upgraded their infrastructure, ensuring minimal downtime and excellent performance. I've recommended Afrihost to friends and family, and they too have been impressed with the quality of service. Thank you, Afrihost, for your dedication and excellent service over the years. I look forward to many more years of great internet connectivity with you!

Afrihost! What can I say? Support above and beyond! I have been dealing with them since 2H 2018 when I joined them to host my website. I developed and set up my website myself. I mostly Googled what to do. When I got stuck their support people gave me advice. Not their job or responsibility! Yet they are there when help is needed. Just this week, I got stuck setting up my email account on my new Laptop. Again! Not their responsibility, yet I have been helped! I am on Afrihost fibre service as well for about 5 months now (2022). Had an Internet problem this morning which was not on their side. Yet, their support stuck with me, and helped me to get it sorted. Judging by comments on social media, and from experience with my previous Internet service provider, I can only imagine the response from other service providers. "All is OK on our side sir". ie Sort out your own bloody problem. Not with Afrihost! Their support is what truly sets them apart from other service providers!

I've been using Afrihost for gaming, and I must say the ping is excellent for playing Mobile Legends. The connection is stable, with minimal lag, which makes for a smooth gaming experience. Whether in casual matches or ranked games, I’ve had consistently low latency, allowing for quick responses and seamless gameplay. If you're looking for a reliable ISP for mobile gaming, Afrihost is definitely a great choice!

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.

And best of all - it won’t cost an arm and a leg
