Afrihost Windows Hostin

[MarieWessels]

So I'm considering Afrihost for hosting a web site, windows & SQL server based. Pretty standard site, needs to use master pages, silverlight, some content management and a
message board (forum).

Anyone have a site hosted with them?

Yes I have a small site with them and I'm going to cancel. I have an account with WebAfrica and the service I receive from the two are worlds appart! For me, WebAfrica are way better for cheaper!

Beware, Afrihost does not offer full-trust asp.net hosting which can be a problem depending on what functionality you're using on your website.

I had the exact opposite... and moved everything to Afrihost. Not sure about silverlight support, but they are very accommodating when you have special requirements (and i've had quite a complicated set up for a small hosting package).
Some of their support staff are brilliant (Edward... is always good, others are good too, but he stands out). Some are terrible (or at least they handled those particular requests poorly, so i've had to escalate at times). So far, they have been able to resolve all my support queries (and i've had some rather abnormal requests). They've done things that WebAfrica were simply unwilling or unable to do for us, so i'd recommend them without hesitation.
