    Afrihost Hosting Alternatives

    We currently rent our kit at Rackzar, highly recommended. We used to rent at Afrihost and it was a complete train wreck.

    Sometimes life isn’t about how hard you get hit, but about how many times you can get back up. Sylvester Stallone said that, and after this past week, it feels more true than ever. We often sit behind screens and forget that there are real people on the other side. After going through this...

    Happy to confirm that all VMs are now running on the physical SSD kit. The speeds are fantastic, it’s like we went from dial up to warp drive overnight. My respect goes out to all the data center engineers who work where no one sees them, keeping the world running one blinking LED at a time...

Every account includes Softaculous for easy WordPress installation, as well as SitePad and Kopage website builders for...

    That’s a fair comment, and I understand why some people see Proxmox and think it is a home lab setup. In our case, it is about flexibility and control. We have had good results running production on it, and it helps us respond quickly when things go wrong. We are not a big data center with...

    Good evening , You’re absolutely right, and I want to start by saying I’m genuinely sorry. Our own VPS, the one hosting our billing system and client area, was on the same storage that failed. So when it went down, we couldn’t even get into our own systems to send updates or emails. Looking...

    Good afternoon beyondcctv, please whatsapp on 27686164676. The data center is busy moving the vm's off the storage, they turn off all the servers because the difference in disk i/o is 3 hours to 12 hours for one export (with all the servers started the disk i/o is dead in the water), the first...

    Good afternoon, We’re finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel, and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate everyone who’s stuck with us through this. I’ll be honest, by the time this is over, I’ll probably be older, grayer, and a lot more tired… but also a lot wiser. We just got off the...

    Hi Jaybee, Thank you so much for your message, and for the way you said it, calmly, fairly, and with understanding. I really appreciate that. You’re absolutely right. Communication should have been better. Between trying to keep servers online, coordinating restores, and dealing with the...

    Good afternoon Jaybee. Our website was on the same storage. And I suspect you might be using an old whatsapp number. The whatsapp button on our website (which is online now) will take you to our number. (We have hundreds of whatsapps every hour so there is a delay in response)

    Good morning, We sincerely apologise for the downtime. While we wait for the datacenter to assist us with a major storage issue, we’ve begun bulk restores via JetBackup onto the new NVMe infrastructure. Once restored, we’ll rsync all new emails from the old environment to ensure everyone’s...
