Downtime is one thing but the lack of communication from Afrihost is unacceptable to me. IIRC, Media Temple had an epic fail over multiple days with their shared hosting service a few years ago, IIRC (I try to forget that horror). At least their commander-in-chief gave a progress report during recovery and a post-mortem, besides the expected refund, of course.
Regarding the notifications @AfriGenie asked about earlier in this thread, I checked just now in the client zone and my details are correct and notifications enabled. I've not changed anything in recent months. I've not received updates since May 3.
Going by this https://twitter.com/Afrihost/status/595836147005333504 I assume their support staff either don't know what's going on or don't want to promise more than they can deliver.
Come on, now, kick the tires and light the fires!

Wow... That past few days have not been all that great.
Is your site accessible at the moment at least? We're taking rather extensive steps at the moment to prevent any further downtime from DDoS attacks, and I just want to make sure your site is up and running at the very least.

Thanks for checking in. Yes, web and mail are now back to normal performance, packet loss seems to be under control, and ping looks OK: http://www.super-ping.com/?ping=197.242.144.100

Can you send me the domain name please?
Things are looking okay at the DC at the moment, and I just want to make sure your site is running as it should.
