    Basic website hosting prices compared

    Another cool option, if you're just hosting a static site, is something like GitHub pages, Netlify or Cloudflare pages. If you have something like a wordpress site that you don't update often you can use localWP and the Simply Static plugin to compile the site to static files that you can...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    Does this mean that if I got 100meg and upgraded to 200 I need to pay pro-rata even through I would have not needed to pay if I just got 200meg in the first place? Just got a surprise invoice that I'm not too stoked about. (Doesn't make sense in terms of what you said) (Edit: I see I'm not the...

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    So after a bunch of WhatsApps with AH support, I've now been told that my OpenServe migrate-in request never succeeded (despite being told that it did succeeded) - very strange but maybe this is a result of AH's API failures that were mentioned?

    Nice! @AfriMan so it's cool/wont cost more if I move over to a 200 and then back down to a 100 before the 23rd of my third month (November)?

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    Does anyone know what the terms are regarding upgrade/downgrades during the free 3 months after migration? For example, if the first three months are free, would one be able to switch to the 200/100 (open serve) and then back down to something cheaper when they actually have to start paying...

    Thanks! Yeah been chatting with Germaine H on WA who's been super helpful so far, much better than wating over the phone and getting airtime chowed. Doubled checked that B-no and it's (luckily) the right one.

    Best value Capped ADSL- should I switch from WebAfrica?

    Hey Guys, So after being abused by WebAfrica's 4Meg home uncapped a couple a months ago, I decided it wasn't for me, and after chatting to someone at their support they gladly switched me over to their 120GB anytime + 480GB from midnight – 6am account for R400 p/m. As a heavy streaming user I...
