Afrihost slashes data transfer prices
Afrihost has slashed the data transfer prices for its cloud and dedicated hosting packages, with clients now paying as little as 59c per GB on some packages.
Afrihost has also increased the amount of web traffic on its cloud, rack, dedicated, and reseller hosting packages by up to 400%.
Clients on reseller hosting will now receive unlimited traffic – subject to an AUP – to and from their servers.
