However, transitioning to their platform can be somewhat difficult and their support team can sometimes seem overwhelmed.
Customers generally find Afrihost's pricing options to be fair and dependable. However, their customer support is a bit sluggish and their user interface can be confusing for new users. Nonetheless, the overall experience with Afrihost is positive.
While phone support availability has decreased recently, customers still recommend Afrihost for its affordability and wide range of options. However, some customers have experienced issues with the use of shared hosting, where their website's performance can be affected by other sites on the same server. The quality of support can also vary.
Afrihost is praised for its generous amount of disk space in their basic package, as well as the complimentary domain name they offer.
