Down again for like 8 hours today? I manage about 40 websites, and only my clients that are with Afrihost have gone down several times in the past few months.

Afrihost – South Africa’s top ISP and hosting provider

The two MyBroadband awards Afrihost has won emphasize its ability to deliver leading services across the highly competitive local ICT market.

Somewhere, I have a screenshot from the poll they run on MyBB showing Absolute ahead by like 20 votes in the hosting poll very late into the night.
There was a drastic swing 1 minute before the poll closed, I have no doubt.
