Afrihost Cloud hosting

Hi Guys,

I notice competitive pricing on Afrihost Cloud hosting - is anyone them? What is the feedback like?
Any chance of nested virtualization on these offerings or LXC?

Thanks

Stay away! Useless service. Lots of downtime. Really had a bad experience with them. Same goes for my friend. It was a nightmare he says.

You get what you get with these ISP cloud hosting companies. Do your homework. Cheaper doesn't always mean it's going to be on the same level as AWS/Azure with regards to support or even functionality.

I would not host with AH even if it was for free.

Use a proper host like domains.co.za.

I also wouldn't recommend them. Over the years we've had so much downtime.

We moved one of our servers to Domains.co.za and it's quite a bit more expensive but the difference is night and day.

HiHo Afrihost. I've already transferred all the domains to a different registrar and have cancelled all the parked domains as well as the one reseller account. In process of transferring it to another ISP. But... my domain email is down, as per usual so I can't even interact with my new hosting provider. Yay! Another turnup for the books, Afrihost. As soon as I can back into client zone, I'll be cancelling EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT with Afrihost. Here's to you looking to recoup my piddly R5k per month from other idiots. I'm OUT.

I'll never trust an ISP who dabbles in cloud. Hearing what they have to say and reading up about it, it's literally just VMware with some backup software with DR, if even an option. It's cheaper, but cheaper for a reason.
Then you get to support...
