Take a closer look and see what we're all about.
Afrihost is a proudly South African Internet Service Provider that was founded in the year 2000. Over 400 employees and five directors make up the company, which was initially a web-hosting company. The journey of Afrihost has been truly inspiring, since the introduction of ADSL and mobile data, and now offering fibre, VoIP, and Fixed LTE, our product offering is expanding.

Clients often inquire about our location and the size of our company. As for our headquarters, they are located in Rivonia, Sandton, where our support and walk-in center can also be found.
We would say, "And this is where the magic happens," if our headquarters were a train and we were showing the support floor (the coal chamber).
The Support team consists of Accounts, Connectivity, Fibre, Hosting, WhatsApp, and Sales.
In addition, we have other divisions that provide second-level support to our first-line support teams. Our branding, marketing, social media, and operations teams are dedicated to our community programs, hosting events such as sports tournaments, marketing our amazing products, and educating clients through social media platforms and so much more!

Lunch is served! Every day between 11:30 am and 2 pm our canteen comes alive. The canteen offers indoor and outdoor seating. It is connected to the "chill area"; as the name suggests, a place where staff can enjoy PlayStation, foosball, table tennis, and pool.

If you're in Gauteng, you're welcome to visit our Walk-in center! It's mainly frequented by clients who prefer picking up SIM cards or routers instead of having them delivered. Our walk-in center also provides in-person support. When you visit, feel free to ask for a cup of coffee or any hot beverage - our staff is always happy to assist!
